"As we expected, it was a tough game. "Shamakhi" has strengthened enough for this season. They have good players. As the games go by, their strength increases even more. In the second half, we showed a more complete game. We deserved the victory."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Kurban Berdyev, the head coach of "Turan Tovuz", at the press conference held after the 10th round match of the Misli Premier League against "Shamakhi". He answered journalists' questions.
- What do you attribute the first half being so dull to?
- There was excitement. We were playing in front of our own fans after a long time. It was also felt in training. In the second half, we showed a more complete game. They had calmed down a bit.
- What is your opinion about the stadium's lawn? Did you think that maybe you would play after a while?
- Everything is clear about the lawn, you see everything yourself. Let's talk about the game.
- "Turan Tovuz" is currently the leader. Only Faig Hajiyev is involved in the national team. He is no longer in the starting lineup either. Does this worry you?
- It applies not only to Faig, but also to others, whoever is strong plays.
- Aykhan Abbasov said that both teams deserved one point. What do you think?
- In the second half, we played more superior. We had more goal episodes. We deserved the victory more.
- Were you satisfied with the performance of the defense line, especially Emmanuel Hakman?
- Hakman was more nervous than ever. Especially in the first half, he made simple mistakes. In the second half, he played more relaxed and better.
