"I told the players it would be a difficult game. Because they understood the responsibility. Thank God, we overcame the task by winning".
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Turan Tovuz" Kurban Berdiyev at the press conference held after the match between "Karvan-Yevlakh" of the 31st round of the Misli Premier League.
He also answered questions from journalists.
- You have had numerous successes in your career as a coach. What place does your success in Azerbaijan hold in your career?
- My success in Azerbaijan holds a special place in my career. Because when I came here, the club president set good goals for us to bring joy to Tovuz fans. I thank the club president for putting his heart into this project. I thank the fans who supported us during this period, regardless of where we played. This success holds a special place in my career. Because we started from the lowest points in these 2 years and this is where we have come, we are going to European competitions.
- Should "Turan Tovuz" be seriously strengthened to be successful in European competitions?
- The club president has ordered that the squad should be strengthened. We are looking for options to invite football players. When inviting players, they look at whether the club plays in European competitions or not. Now it will be easier.
- Will the target increase in the Premier League next season?
- It would be difficult to talk about it now. It will depend on how much the team strengthens. Look, "Sabah" became the champion because they had a strong squad. We cannot deny this either. It was the newcomers who revived Sabah's game. The head coach factor also proved itself.
