"To be honest, I was standing aside. I have 3 yellow cards and I've been trying to be careful for 5 games now."
This was stated by Sumgayit striker Rustam Ahmadzadeh in an interview with futbolxeber.az.
We present this interview.
- You defeated Imishli 1:0 in the 14th round of the Misli Premier League. How would you comment on the victory?
- It was expected that it would not be an easy game. Because Imishli is a good team. They are especially dangerous in counterattacks. That's why we prepared very seriously for the match. It was difficult to create scoring chances and stand out. But we believed until the end. In the end, we achieved our goal and scored the necessary goal.
- Although you opened the score in the match, you could suddenly turn into an anti-hero by causing a penalty to be awarded to your team's goal at the end...
- It was really a very emotional game. The ball touched my hand unintentionally. Overall, we deserved to win. Maybe that's why luck was on our side.
- What feelings were you experiencing when Imishli took the penalty?
- I was very worried, very excited. We needed 3 points in this match. That's why I couldn't even look at the moment of the shot. Fortunately, there was no goal.
- The match with Imishli was also dramatic in the first round. Although you lost 0:1, you eventually won a technical victory...
- I remember that meeting well. Although we created many scoring chances, we could not win. Then we won a technical victory. This was an extra motivation. Because we wanted to defeat Imishli and show that we are strong. But still, Imishli must be given credit. It is a very good team. They also have strong players in their squad. That's why it was a very tense game. There was even a fight at the end. Everything is related to emotions.
- What do you think was the reason for the fight?
- To be honest, I was standing aside. I have 3 yellow cards and I've been trying to be careful for 5 games now. I don't want to be penalized during the winter break. That's why I didn't even go to the side where the fight was, so that I wouldn't be penalized with a yellow card.
- Head coach Sasha Ilic has been suspended for 4 games. How much does his absence on the substitutes' bench affect you players?
- It's not a serious problem. I could hear our head coach's instructions and directions from the stands. We are also together in the dressing room.
- You have won 4 of the last 5 games. Will Sumgayit be able to maintain this form until the winter break?
- Yes, that is our goal. There are 2 rounds left until the winter break. Our goal is to score six points in the last two matches.
