"We won a very important victory. I thank my players for their dedication. Both teams fought well on the field."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Zira" Rashad Sadygov after the game with "Araz-Nakhchivan" in the 22nd round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The match ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of "Zira".
"Two teams of the same level were facing each other. Both are fighting for a place in European cups. The important thing was to maintain discipline until the end and win. Thank God we won. An important cup game with "Sumgayit" awaits us. We must focus all our attention on that match. After that, we will start preparing for the 3rd round of the championship," Sadygov said.
The head coach noted that the opponent "Sumgayit" will be more eager in the match for the Azerbaijan Cup, which will be held in a few days: "It seems to me that in today's game with "Kapaz", in the changes made after the red card, the head coach of "Sumgayit" was thinking about the cup match. I guess if I were in his place, I would do the same. We are not waiting for the opponent to be tired in the match in 3 days. We spent a lot of energy today. Therefore, we must recover as soon as possible."
