Zira drew 0-0 with Imishli in the 31st 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 after the match:
- It was a very difficult game. You saw the condition of the field. The players were very eager for 90 minutes. They did their best to win. But we couldn't bring it to the end. We are disappointed. We wanted to win. We must now prepare for the upcoming games.
- Isn't it difficult to tune the players to championship matches on the eve of the cup final?
- We were the superior side, we created good goal opportunities. We are definitely not just thinking about the cup. Usually the cup final was at the end of the season. Now it coincided with a heavy schedule. Rotations and injuries affect our game. We have gone through a tight schedule. It was our 8th game in 35 days. April tired us a lot. The quality of the field affected the final passes and shots.
- You didn't meet with the opposing head coach after the game. What is the reason for this?
- Usually after the game, the coaches meet with their colleagues and then congratulate their players. The head coach of Imishli went to congratulate his players as soon as the match ended. I also met with the translator and everyone went in their own direction.
- Is it necessary to increase the number of teams in the Premier League?
- The main thing is what the goal is. If the goal is just to increase the number, the number increases and we play football in the mud in May. Most of the clubs play in 3-4 stadiums. If there is a club with infrastructure and a stadium, it can come to the Premier League. We have quality teams and legionnaires in our championship. To maintain this quality, at least the grass cover should be in good condition.
