After the match between "Sabah" and "Zira" (2:2) in the XXVII round of the Misli Premier League, the head coach of the visiting team, Rashad Sadygov, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the meeting...
– The game started excitedly for us. The opponent put a lot of pressure. When we went forward, we lost the ball and conceded a goal. They also pressed for the next 10 minutes. But we were able to make a comeback before the break. At the beginning of the second half, we conceded a goal from a standard situation. After that, we tried to score, the players showed character. In the last minutes of the game, our defense played reliably and we won a point. Every point earned against "Sabah" is valuable. I think this result will be beneficial for us.
– You were active at the beginning of the first half…
– We conceded 3 goals in 27 minutes in the previous game with this team. Today, when we conceded a goal in the 15th minute, I tried to get the players together so they wouldn't fall apart.
– You won a point in the game with the leader. Today you also helped "Qarabag". There is a game against "Neftchi" ahead. Can that meeting be considered decisive?
– "Sabah" is playing great. The point we won is very important. We took two points from "Qarabag" and one point from "Sabah". These are very important. In the last round, we missed the victory with a last-minute goal. It was a painful loss of points. The players were very disappointed. My concern was that this disappointment would affect the game with "Sabah". We have games against "Neftchi" and "Turan Tovuz" ahead. There will be serious matches. We understand what awaits us in these games.
– Issa Cibrilla and Ayron Gomis seemed unhappy when they left the field.
– I didn't want to replace them. Gomis is back from injury. He grabbed his leg in one episode, and he also had a yellow card. Issa made a productive pass, won a penalty. He played very productively. He also just returned from injury. I took this step thinking about the future.
– There is little left until the end of the season. Is there a player you are watching?
– No. For now, all our attention is on the championship. We will talk to the management at the end of the season. We are not in a hurry yet.
