"Neftchi" defeated "Turan Tovuz" 2:1 in the 34th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of "the whites and blacks," Samir Abasov, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- Isn't it difficult to prepare a team with no goals for the games?
- Of course, it is very difficult. Especially with our losses. But we have faced many difficulties. I don't want anyone to feel comfortable when playing against us. "Neftchi"'s name is above everything.
- What promises can you make to the fans regarding the next season?
- We are making plans. There is no need to make promises to "Neftchi" fans. They have been given so many promises. We have to show everything with our game.
- If you had been appointed as the head coach of "Neftchi" at the beginning of the season, do you think the situation could have been different?
- Maybe it would have been even worse. The past is in the past. We will try to move towards a better future.
- Today, you fielded 3 forwards. What can you say about their performance?
- It wasn't out of necessity. We wanted to keep tall players on the field. Everyone knows the opponent's style of play. Our forwards played very well. They put pressure on the opponent's defense.
- Aleks doesn't seem to be able to adapt to the team. What is the reason for this?
- We immediately want something from the player we bring in. Aleks joined us at a difficult time. We need to be patient with players like him. His quality and skill are known. I think he will improve.
- There are claims that a selection coaching group will be created in "Neftchi" for the new season. To what extent will this make your job easier?
- It will make it much easier. We have to take serious steps. We are working on this. Thanks to the club management, they are creating the conditions.
