"Neftchi" head coach: The team fought until the end and showed character in the game against "Fomget"

"Neftchi fought to the end and showed character in the match against "Fomget" (Turkey) in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League."

Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Siyasat Asgarov, the head coach of the capital's women's football team, in a statement to the club's press service.

The specialist stated that the representative of the brotherly country, where he worked before, has strengthened significantly: "I knew the opponent well. Because I had worked at the Fomget club before. However, almost half of the team was renewed, and the squad was significantly strengthened. Many of the new players were members of national teams that are strong in women's football. Moreover, it was mysterious what surprises we would face, as the opponent did not play any games during this preparation period. Nevertheless, we also chose a game plan according to the opponent's strength and prepared as much as possible. We wanted to punish the opponent without conceding a goal. In my opinion, our team showed character and fought until the end. But, unfortunately, at certain times the opponent's quality came to the fore and forced us to make mistakes. After these mistakes, we conceded goals. However, we also had chances. I think that the main reason why we could not take advantage of the opportunities is that there are many young players in the squad. I think the team can show better results in the future."

It should be noted that the "Fomget" - "Neftchi" match, organized in Tirana, the capital of Albania, ended with a 2:0 victory for the Turkish club.
