"We have injured players. We have faced problems in terms of squad. Nevertheless, we tried to fight." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by "Neftchi" goalkeeper Emil Balayev.
The goalkeeper shared his thoughts on the 29th round match of the Misli Premier League, in which they won against "Shamakhi" on the road:
"Everyone knows that the trip to Shamakhi is difficult. There are factors here such as the pitch and weather conditions. I thank every football player. They put their maximum on the field for 95 minutes. I congratulate our fans. They didn't leave us alone. They made us feel at home on the road.
Balayev recalled that he was out of football for a while after the injury:
"I had played a few matches after that. But I would note this match in a different way. I didn't concede a goal. We intend to continue such tenacious matches. In general, no one is insured against injury."
