"It was a difficult game as we expected. The opponent had not lost at home after the winter break. We knew that "Kapaz" would fight hard. We did our best to create an advantage."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the head coach of "Zira" Rashad Sadigov at the press conference held after the game with Kapaz.
He commented on the 1:0 away victory in the 32nd round of the Misli Premier League: "We started the game well. The opponent did not give us a very comfortable opportunity to play. At the beginning of the second half, we increased the speed. We scored in those minutes. Then we had good counterattacks. It would have been easier for us if we had scored the second goal. We have 4 games ahead of us. We have to perform well in every match. 3 teams have a chance for the Europa League. All three teams will fight till the end. Our goal was to participate in European cups. It is gratifying to do this by winning a medal. We want to take second place. Time will tell how it will happen. "Araz-Nakhchivan" will not give up until the end.
Rashad Sadigov spoke about the goals in the European Cups: "Today, passing one round is considered a success. The reason for this is our low rating. We must strengthen our rating so that we have suitable opponents in the early stages. We have to collect rating points little by little. It is not easy to achieve success in European Cups. There will be pressure on us this year. Because we reached the play-off stage last year. Time will tell everything. We want to get stronger. Today I am satisfied with the conditions created for us by the club. It would be better if we could get a little stronger. We will slowly start working from this week. After our participation in the European Cups was confirmed yesterday, I was interested in when the first game in the Conference League is. Currently, our priority is to take second place in the championship."
