"Neftchi" - "Sabah" game is a derby. Both teams belong to Baku, therefore there is great interest. But we would like to see more fans in the stadium."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the captain of "Sabah" Pavol Šafranko in his statement to Futbolinfo.az.
The Slovak player considered the away draw (0:0) with "Neftchi" to be a fair result: "I think it was an interesting game. We changed tactics during the game. No one had a serious advantage in the match and as a result it was a draw."
Šafranko considered it a satisfactory indicator that they won only 1 victory after 3 games: "It is the beginning of the season, so it is understandable. I wouldn't call it normal, but we are trying to do our best. We are trying to implement the new head coach's system on the field. We are working together for this. This process is ongoing and the result should be good."
The captain also touched on his team's potential to fight for the championship: "We are all focused on a good result. It is fantastic that "Qarabag" is playing in the Champions League. But we are focused on our game. All teams, even "Imishli", have a chance to win the championship. It is the beginning of the season, so it is difficult to say exactly which stage we will be fighting for."
