"Turan Tovuz" is currently the leader of our championship. They have collected important points. However, we were eager to prepare for the game. It doesn't matter to us who the opponent is. We go to every meeting for the maximum result. We played superior football, but the result is that the opponent scored twice after a throw-in and won. We knew the opponent's standard situations. Throw-in, corner... We worked on these in training. The chance factor is also important. Sometimes there are goals that cannot be expressed in words. This was one of those goals. Such things happen in football. This game was an experience for us. We are already thinking about the game with "Imishli".
Rafael Maharramli, the captain of "Shamakhi", commented on his team's 1:2 defeat to "Turan Tovuz" in the 10th round of the Misli Premier League. At the same time, he spoke about the poor condition of the grass cover of the Tovuz city stadium:
"They should have waited a few more months to play on the field in Tovuz. But it turned out like this. It also affected our game. After 10 minutes, the stadium became unusable. Nevertheless, we tried, we fought. We practically didn't give the opponent a serious episode, except for the throw-in," he said in his statement to sportal.az.
Maharramli stated that he thinks his team deserves to be in the higher ranks of the tournament table, not in the 9th place: "Of course, the football we play does not correspond to the current position. The result is also important, but playing football is just as important. I believe that we will improve our result and be in the higher ranks".
The 26-year-old football player said that he is hopeful about the "Imishli" match they will face in the next round: "Imishli" started the championship very well. Although they are a new team, they have quality football players. But as I always say, it doesn't matter to us who the opponent is. Because we go to every game with the same desire and motivation. This is one of those matches. We will go to the game for the highest result".
