"The break will be 100 percent useful for us. Our team will have good preparation in 2 weeks."
This was stated by Sumgayit striker Rustam Ahmadzadeh in an interview with futbolxeber.az.
We present the interview:
- You lost to Turan Tovuz by a large score in the last round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. What can this defeat be attributed to?
- The result speaks for itself. It is difficult to point out any specific reason. We just have to learn from this defeat. We need to work harder in training to get good results in the next matches.
- Although Sumgayit had a successful start to the season, they have only gained 1 point in the last 3 rounds. Is the team in decline?
- I wouldn't say decline. Turan Tovuz is a good team. It is always difficult to play against them. They turned the episode they caught into a goal and took the lead. We know that if Turan opens the score, it is very difficult to come back. After falling behind in the score, we rushed forward with great force. That's why we saw the second and third goals in our goal.
- In the second half, when the score was 0:2, your team missed a penalty. Can that moment be considered the breaking point of the match? In any case, if the difference between the scores was reduced, the course of the game would change completely...
- It's hard to say anything now. We wouldn't want it to be like this. Maybe if it was 1:2, the remaining minutes of the match would be more intense. But what happened has already happened.
- Considering the unsuccessful performance in the last rounds, can we say that the break in the championship will be useful for Sumgayit?
- Yes, the break will be 100 percent useful for us. Our team will have good preparation in 2 weeks. Work will be done on the shortcomings. I am sure that we will be stronger after this defeat.
- How does the abolition of the legionnaire limit in the Premier League affect the performance of local players?
- Frankly, I don't feel any special difference. Whoever is stronger comes to the field. It doesn't matter whether he is a local player or a legionnaire.
