A press conference was held with the participation of the head coaches after the "Karvan-Yevlax" - "Sabah" match.
Idman.biz reports that first, the head coach of the guests, Valdas Dambrauskas, answered questions in front of media representatives.
The specialist stated that they played dominantly from the first second to the end: "We could have scored three or four goals. I would like that too. We won three points. It's a positive thing. Mikels' injury upset us all. We will pray to God that nothing happens."
- Usually, after the result is decided, the head coaches take the leading players off the field. But Mikels played until the end. Why?
- I don't know why you say that. He is our only central striker. He is very eager. That's why I wanted to keep him on the field.
- After the game with "Sumgayit", you complained about the refereeing, but De Blekere said that all the decisions were correct.
- That is De Blekere's opinion. I respect it. But I personally have worked with top-level referees in different countries. That decision was completely wrong. I wonder if the same decision will be made if there is such an episode again? There is a golden rule in all football that there should be continuity in 50/50 decisions. It's like looking for a cat in a dark room.
- You scored two goals, both were curious. Yes, you could have scored three or four goals. Was it your decision to play with "little blood"?
- I disagree with you. Such teams defend with 11 people. The opponent entered our penalty area in the 44th and 46th minutes. It is difficult to play against tightly playing teams. I do not agree with the idea of playing with "little blood". There is a lack of quality in the final passes.
- If Mikels' condition is serious, will this create a problem for you?
- This is not our first injury. Sekidika, Shafranko, Nogueira, Zineddin, Aleksey - all are very important players. But you can't hear me complain about the injury. I give you a million percent guarantee that whether we win or lose, we will go to the field with 11 people.
