Rashad Sadygov: "I don't know what happened in between, Gara got angry"

"Zira" defeated "Araz-Nakhchivan" 1:0 at home in the 19th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the "eagles" Rashad Sadygov answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:

- Despite being the first game after the break, the players of both teams showed aggression and skill. It's like there was no break. The game started successfully for us. We scored in the first minutes. We had dangerous attacks again. Then the control of the game passed to the opponent. We didn't have a good second half of the first half. After the break, we were more aggressive and eager. We all know the strength of the opponent. Elmar Bakhshiyev has formed a strong, good team. I was satisfied with the performance of my players. I congratulate the opponent.

- Were there any moments you were dissatisfied with?

- We have losses. Davit Volkov had not trained for 10 days, he trained yesterday. He was sitting in reserve. If we needed a goal, we would have put him on the field. Rustam Ahmadzada was also in reserve. Our other players could not be physically ideal. This is true for all teams in the first rounds. After everyone recovers their form, we want to be more eager and more ambitious.

- How would you comment on the events? What happened that made Gara Garayev aggressive?

- It is very sad that such a thing happened between the two teams. Thank God there was no major incident, and there cannot be. There is a very good relationship between the two teams, between the management, coaches and players. I don't know what happened in between, Gara got angry. Because he had a yellow card, I intervened to calm him down. I said that you will also harm yourself. There were many people there, I couldn't talk properly. We wouldn't want anything to happen. There should have been bigger events in the second half, but everything went well on the field due to the good relationship between the clubs.
