After the "Sabah" – "Zira" match (3:0) of the VIII round of the Misli Premier League, the head coach of the guest team, Rashad Sadygov, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first expressed his views on the meeting...
– It's difficult to evaluate the game. We hadn't lost for almost 6 months. The last time we lost was to "Qarabağ" last season. We knew we would lose sometime. But it was a defeat that didn't suit us. The consecutive goals we conceded at the end of the first half were the turning point of the game. We made efforts in the second half, but it didn't work out. The opponent punished us on the counterattack. Just as we try to forget about victory quickly, we must react to defeat in the same way.
– You haven't played this poorly lately...
– Yes, we played the weakest game of the season. We have lost 6-7 players in the squad and it is difficult to fill their places. This is not an excuse. It is difficult to fill the gaps. We tried, the loss of Ismayil Ibrahimli and Jeyhun Nuriyev was unexpected.
– After the last match of the national team, Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev was penalized with a card. Are you considering giving Aydin Bayramov a chance in the upcoming games and opening his way to the national team?
– We have an idea. We will make the final decision before the game.
