Musa Gurbanli: "Our goal is to end the season with two cups" - INTERVIEW

An interview with Qarabag forward Musa Gurbanli on Futbolxeber.az

- You defeated Araz-Nakhchivan 2:0 in the 34th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. How would you comment on the victory?

- We really wanted to win. Araz-Nakhchivan is a tough opponent. Our games against them are always difficult. That's why we are happy to have won. Every victory inspires us even more.

- The difference in the score could have been bigger than two. But you wasted a lot of scoring chances, especially in the first half. What can this be attributed to?

- Such things happen in football. If there are five scoring opportunities, you have to score two of them. If you scored in all five goal episodes, you would win every game with a score of 5:0. Therefore, you need to create a lot of scoring chances to win. If we have created a lot of episodes, this is also a good sign. If we created episodes but could not stand out, then we need to increase the accuracy a little more.

- In the second half, ball control was on the side of Araz-Nakhchivan. Was your slight retreat due to fatigue, or was it the comfort given by the score?

- Fatigue may be. Also, the score of 2:0 also had an effect. After the second goal, the motivation dropped a little. However, we tried to maintain the game discipline until the end.

- You will face Kapaz in the next game. Will it be possible to maintain the desire to win in that match as well?

- Although we have secured the championship, we go to every game to win. God willing, we will try to play well again and win.

- What are your expectations from the cup final?

- We are preparing seriously. Our goal is to end the season with two cups. We will put all our strength on the field to achieve our desire.

- Is your mind stuck in the cup final? Is it difficult to focus on championship games?

- No, on the contrary, we see these matches as a kind of preparation for the final. If we do not play well in the championship games, our physical form will drop. We take the matches seriously so that we are ready for the final.
