The head coach of "Neftchi" Samir Abasov answered journalists' questions at a press conference after the match against "Qarabagh" in the XI round of the Misli Premier League.
Idman.Biz reports that the specialist, although satisfied with his team's game, stated that the penalty awarded in the match changed the course of the match.
"Our team did not play badly. We played well enough in the first half and continued it until the end. It is difficult to create many scoring chances in such matches, but we had 2-3 real chances. After Abubakar's arrival, the motivation of our other forwards also increased," Abasov said.
The head coach considered the penalty episode unfair:
"Such cheap penalties are not awarded in such derbies. If the chief referee says that this is a contact game, then why weren't penalties awarded in our favor in similar situations in matches with "Zira" and "Turan Tovuz"? This decision affected the fate of the game."
"I am very satisfied with the team, we are seeing a different "Neftchi". The reason why so many fans and journalists came to the game is not "Qarabagh", but "Neftchi". We are building a very good team. We will try to see what we can do better and continue on our way," the head coach added.
