"No one in "Kapaz" thinks we can leave the elite" - Yegor Khvalko

"I think it was a good game. Both we and the opponent had opportunities to stand out."

QOL.az reports that these words were said by "Kapaz" captain Yegor Khvalko in his statement to the club's press service.

The Belarusian defender spoke about the game against "Araz-Nakhchivan" (0:0) in the 30th round of the Misli Premier League: "Both sides had a chance to win. We could have won or lost. Looking at the tournament table, the result can be considered normal. You always want to win. But don't forget that the opponent also wants it."

Despite the 8-point difference, Khvalko believes that the "yellow-blues" have not coped with the task of staying in the elite: "There are 6 games ahead. It is good to have an 8-point difference. But the championship is not over. We need to score more points to secure our place in the Premier League. We can also climb higher in the tournament table. Our point difference with "Sumgayit" and "Shamakhi" is not big. We have to look forward."

He noted that the sense of self-confidence in the team is high: "Players in the team trust each other. No one thinks we can leave the elite. This factor is one of the important features for achieving success. On the contrary, everyone thinks about good games and high places. Our results improved after the winter break. This gives us reason to think about good things."
