"I congratulate my players. We won a very important 3 points. It was important to win before the national break. We were more prepared than "Kapaz". Because we started preparing for the new season in mid-June."
Idman.biz reports that Rashad Sadigov, the head coach of "Zira", said this at the press conference held after the 5:0 victory over "Kapaz" in the III round of the Misli Premier League.
- It is normal for our players to be more prepared than the opponent. This affected the course of the game. We know that the opponent's selection was late. They even transferred two good players in the last few days. I think that "Kapaz" will turn into a very dangerous team after 3-4 rounds and will add color to the championship. My players showed responsibility on the field from the first minute. The result and the game are not an indicator of the difference between the two teams. I wish "Kapaz" success in the next rounds.
- Brahim Konate played in the defensive midfielder position. Did you try this in the training camp?
- Konate also played as a defensive midfielder in "Shamakhi". But the system there was a little different, he was very active in attacks. We know that Konate is a versatile football player. During the training camp, we were preparing him more as a playmaker. Ismail Ibrahimli had a micro-injury. He will also join the national team's training camp. Therefore, we protected him. We also took the opportunity to give Konate a chance to restore his form. He showed himself well in the defensive midfielder position.
- How do you assess the performance of Yegor Bogomolski and Leroy Mikels?
- It is a pleasure for us that the players debuted. It is doubly pleasant when it is successful. Leroy joined the game confidently. He hasn't played football for two months. Playing too much after a long break is also risky. Bogomolski also joined the game very well. Both of them accelerated our game in attack. We want to increase competition in the attack line. This is important. All players must be in tone.
