"It was difficult to play on an artificial field during the day. There was more struggle on the field in the first half."
Idman.Biz reports that this was said by the head coach of "Zira" Rashad Sadiqov at a press conference after the game against "Kapaz" in the XIII round of the Misli Premier League.
"It was difficult to play on an artificial field during the day. There was more struggle on the field in the first half. We could not witness a fast game. The opponent applied very good pressing. We increased the speed a little in the second half. We scored two goals and won a very important victory."
R. Sadigov shared his views on Rahim Hasanov, who was elected the new chairman of the AFFA Referees Committee:
"I believe that it will be for the benefit of our refereeing. For a long time, the chairmen were foreigners. I have always been a supporter of our own personnel. Recently, our own personnel are also trusted in the national teams. This makes us happy. There has been development in our referees in the last two years. Rahim Hasanov has gained experience and will be able to carry this burden."
It should be noted that the game "Kapaz" - "Zira" ended with a 2:0 victory for the Baku club. Rashad Sadigov's team is in second place in the tournament table with 26 points.
