"The first game of the season is always difficult. No matter how much you want to play test matches like official games, you can't get the same effect." These words were said by Sabuhi Safiyarli, the sports director of "Gabala", in his statement to Sport24.az.
The club official stated that the team needs time to get in shape:
"The team needs 2-3 games to get in full shape. We won one point away in the first official match, but we were close to winning. We had many goal episodes and we could not take advantage of the opportunities due to the excitement of the first game. The main thing is that this does not happen again in other matches. Did we lose two points or gain one point? I wouldn't want to describe it that way. The main thing is that one point was added to the team's assets. I don't think the result is bad for the first game. The club's strategy is to attract young football players to the team. The experience they will gain this season will greatly help us to fight for higher places next season. We will try to settle in a higher position as much as possible, and our main goal is to give experience to young football players."
It should be noted that "Gabala" agreed to a draw with "Karvan-Yevlax" in the first round of the Misli Premier League. 1:1
