"It was an interesting game. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on the goal opportunities. It was a game where I can't say anything bad to my players. They played with all their might. There was an opportunity to give young players a chance. We let them onto the field."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Turan Tovuz" Kurban Berdyev after the game with "Sabah" in the last round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
The game ended with a 2:1 victory for "Sabah".
Berdyev evaluated the season and spoke about the upcoming goals: "Overall, I rate it as a successful season. But there were some equal games where we lost points.
This season showed that it is important to strengthen the squad. "Sabah" proved it. They gathered a very strong squad.
They have good head coaches. As a result, they became champions. We will also try to strengthen the squad. But it is difficult to say how much our budget will allow it. We understand well what our financial capabilities are."
"Turan Tovuz" finished the championship in third place with 59 points.
