Neftchi goalkeeper Kenan Piric gave an interview to Sport24.az after the match against Zira in the 28th round of the Misli Premier League, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
- You played 1:1 against Zira. How was the overall meeting for you?
- We prepared well for the match. We wanted to win. After the goal we conceded in the last minutes, I don't understand these rules anymore. We need to ask ChatGPT to find out what happened. Zira's player was standing right in front of me during the shot, I couldn't see the ball.
- Why wasn't offside recorded, in your opinion?
- I don't know.
- Didn't you see the episode?
- Yes. You know, it's the same situation again. It's the second time already. In the first game, when the score was 2:2, they gave a penalty in their favor. I don't know... I'm upset and frankly it seems everyone is against us. But this can make us even stronger. You will see. That's all.
- You had a great save in one episode. Can we say that this is one of the best saves of your career?
- Not exactly, but it's in the top three. What can I do? We can't fight against everyone. We will fight against the rest of the league.
- You will face Qarabag in the next game. Yuri Vernidub and Breno Almeida will not be on the field in that meeting...
- What's done is done. Two games, important games, two derbies. I think and hope that we have the quality and strength to cope with everything. We'll see. We will prepare.
- Your fans supported you. What would you like to say to them? The next game is also against Qarabag...
- To the fans? Yes, they are still the same as they were before. They were with us even when we were in the most difficult situation. And now we are growing together - as a team, as a family, as brothers. We need them, they are like the 12th player on the field. It's very nice to see this support. I think the stadium will be full for the game against Qarabag, there will be an even bigger crowd. We will prepare. We will fight to the end.
