After the match of the XXIII round of the Misli Premier League "Shamakhi" – "Imishli" (0:0), the head coach of the guest team, Jorge Casquilha, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his views on the meeting…
– It was a very combative game. We knew Shamakhi's game, we were ready for it. It was a tough game. We attacked more in the last half hour. We had chances, but we couldn't capitalize on them. Shamakhi committed a lot of fouls. The referee allowed it. The tough game slowed down the tempo. We wanted to increase the tempo. We are happy with the game. We attacked. We had a chance at the end, but we couldn't score. The reality is that we drew again. It's not a bad result. But we came here to win.
– The team hasn't won for a long time. You haven't scored in five games. What are you satisfied with against this background?
– Our squad is limited. It must be taken into account. Unlike other teams, our attacking players lack some qualities. It's our debut year. We scored 22 points and it's a good result. Even though we are a limited team, we are showing good game. Our team always fights with one hundred percent effort. If we look at our position in the championship, it is not bad. We fight until the end. The team's efforts are valued. It is a fact that we cannot win, there are problems. There is also another fact that every team in the Premier League has difficulty beating us. We will continue our work. The goal is to stay in the Premier League.
– The difference in points with the 11th place is 6. You have difficult games ahead. Aren't you worried about the gap closing?
– It worries me. The purpose of our work is to prevent the gap from closing. We understand that there are difficult games. But we can put up a decent fight against them.
