"It was the first friendly match after a long break. I told you yesterday how the game would go, I said that we would play with different squads in each half. It was clear from the match how difficult it was for the players."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Neftchi" Samir Abasov said this in a statement to the club's TV.
The experienced specialist said that he was satisfied with the friendly match with "Hapoel" (Tel Aviv") club, which ended 1:1: "We hadn't played a game for a long time, and we were also playing after heavy loads. The goal was to see how the players would perform against the background of physical loads. I think they coped with it. We don't focus so much on these games tactically, we also think about the physical aspects. Because there is enough time before the start of the championship. We are trying to ensure that the players do not lose their tone during this period, on the contrary, we further improve their physical condition with such games. I think it wasn't bad for the first game. The mistakes made by the players individually are normal. We have also been football players ourselves, we know that in this situation the legs don't listen. So we understand them. Let's take into account that we had two trainings yesterday. The main thing is to improve our physical condition. At the same time, I believe that after forming the team, we will be well prepared for the championship."
It should be noted that "Neftchi" will test its strength in 3 more test matches in Poland.
