"Gabala" lost to "Qarabag" 0:2 in the 6th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the "red-blacks" Kakhaber Tskhadadze answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
I congratulate "Qarabag" on their victory. I express my gratitude to my players. They showed a fighting game. Until now, they said that "Gabala" has a good attack line, and there are problems in defense. This game showed that our team can also defend. We played 90 minutes in the minority against a rival like "Qarabag". Despite this, the players played very correctly from a tactical point of view. "Qarabag" has an important game in the Champions League. I wish them success. Let me note one more important point that another of our players (Gadir Ramazanov) made his debut in the Premier League today. The number of local players who debuted this season has reached 5.
- Is there any news about the new goalkeeper transfer?
- There is nothing yet. We were expecting a goalkeeper. You know what happened to him. They took him to the army in Ukraine. There is no other option at the moment.
- Will you criticize Prins Owusu for the red card?
- Of course not. Prins is still a child. He feels very bad. He was crying in the dressing room. We could hardly calm him down. There was no intentional foul in that episode. He slipped, that's why he broke the rule. It would also be good for "Qarabag" to play against 11 people before an important game. In England, they don't immediately give a red card in such episodes. It is difficult to comment on such a "red" at the beginning of the match.
- What result should we expect from "Gabala" this season?
- We will fight in every game. Of course, our goal is to keep our place in the Premier League. I believe we can handle it.
- After "Araz-Nakhchivan" was left with fewer players, "Qarabag" scored 5 goals. Today your team fought to the end. I wonder, do coaches have plans related to red cards before the match?
- Not in the 2nd minute (laughs). It is easy to build a game when the striker receives a red card. When the defender leaves, you have to make a change. In this case, it becomes difficult to rebuild the game. After the "red" we started playing with the 5-3-1 system. I emphasize once again, I thank my players. "Qarabag" is a team of a completely different level. We showed ourselves well against such an opponent.
