An interview with "Sabah" defender Jon Irazabal on Sportal.az
- "Sabah" managed to beat "Shamakhi" in the last round. How was the match for you? Did everything go as you wanted?
- I think it was a good game. But considering the goal we conceded, we need to be more careful. These moments can be decisive. Therefore, we need to be more careful.
- "Sabah" had not been able to defeat "Shamakhi" for 2 years. You almost broke this spell. Does this give you extra motivation?
- You know, it was noticeable that we didn't play well, especially at "Shamakhi"'s stadium. This was our main problem. Of course, we are happy that we won. It's always good to win.
- Your team is currently in 5th place and is only 5 points behind "Turan Tovuz" in 4th place. In general, how do you see "Sabah"'s chances of finishing the season in 4th place?
- I think that "Turan Tovuz" will collect the points they need to take 4th place. But nevertheless, we want to win in all the matches ahead of us. We will go out on the field to win. I hope everything goes well.
- "Sabah" has a very difficult schedule at the end of the season. Matches with "Zira", "Neftchi" and "Qarabag" in the final of the national cup. Is the team mentally and physically ready for these three matches?
- For me, all games are always interesting games. Especially, there should be motivation for everyone to win the cup. Of course, we will go out to win both the championship and the cup match.
- In the match with "Zira", the goal will probably be to win? They have already secured their 2nd place...
- Yes, winning is our main goal in this match as well. We are already preparing for our next match. We want to win every game we go out on the field. "Zira" also had a very good season. The game against them will not be easy. The most anticipated match for everyone is "Sabah" - "Qarabag".
- How do you assess your chances of winning the national cup? How do you think you can beat "Qarabag"?
- Anything can happen in a game. The opponent likes to play with many players between the lines. Therefore, it will be very important to be compact and careful to close these transition lines. Having the ball will help us a lot. Because "Qarabag" is stronger with the ball. We will try to reach our goal by showing the game we want.
