Kurban Berdyev: "God helps us"

After the match of the XX round of the Misli Premier League "Qarabag" - "Turan Tovuz" (1:2), the head coach of the guest team, Kurban Berdyev, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first expressed his views on the meeting...

– I thank the children for fighting with maximum strength in this game after the last heavy home defeat. Although they lost in all the details, they fought until the last minute. Thank God we had chances too.

– What did you change in this match compared to the game against "Kapaz"?

– We talked to each of the players differently. That, unlike that game, we should approach this match more carefully. That home defeat will not happen again.

– Was there a difference in that game compared to playing against the leader of the championship?

– Actually, our last 2 matches with "Kapaz" were our worst games. The approach was a bit different. We changed that too.

– "Qarabag" lost to FCSB after goals from corner kicks. You also scored the first goal from a corner kick in this game. Did you prepare specifically?

– We work on standard situations related to both attack and defense.

How do you rate Veysal Rzayev's performance as a left-back defender?

- Veysal played well today. In the academy, he played as both a left and right-back defender. It's not a different position for him.

– There were 2 penalty episodes in the game, but they were not awarded. What do you think?

– I usually don't answer questions about refereeing. But from where I was, it looked like a penalty. I haven't reviewed the episode.

– You haven't lost in the 3rd match against "Qarabag". Have you found Gurban Gurbanov's weakness?

– It is not easy to play against such a coach. God helps us. "Qarabag" is the flagship of Azerbaijani football. Gurbanov is also its architect.

– You defeated the strongest in this country's championship. Do you have the courage to make history?

-Everything is in God's hands.
