"Turan Tovuz" lost to "Araz-Nakhchivan" with a score of 1:2 in their home game within the 2nd round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of the nominal home team, Kurban Berdyev, gave an interview to journalists after the match.
The experienced coach expressed his opinion on the defeat as follows: "In a duel between teams of equal strength, decisive moments are of great importance. Sometimes carelessness occurs in standard situations or in certain episodes. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal after a corner kick. We couldn't capitalize on the opportunities that arose."
He also spoke about some players: "In addition to Serrano, we are also waiting for Jo, Filip Ozobić, and Henrique. Ibrahima Wadji is not yet fully ready to play 90 minutes, because they did not participate in the training camp. I hope they will help the team in the upcoming games."
The head coach also clarified the situation of Denis Marandici, who is suffering from an injury: "Denis underwent surgery again. Thankfully, the surgery was successful. He is currently walking with a cane and can already slowly put his foot on the ground. He is expected to join the team after the winter break."
Finally, Berdyev spoke about the changes in the squad and the team's future plans: "We have transferred new players to play in the main squad. If they are in good enough shape, they will be in the starting lineup. There is a possibility that we will change our game system. It is the beginning of the championship, we will have a clearer view of the situation towards the end of the season."
