Samir Abasov: "They didn't count our clean goal"

"I don't think there were two different halves. From the first minutes, we tried to dictate the game. After pressing a few times, we managed to get the ball. It's just that the decisions weren't right."

Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Neftchi" Samir Abasov said at the press conference held after the game with "Sumgayit".

He commented on the 2:2 draw recorded in the away match of the 32nd round of the Misli Premier League. "We conceded a goal in our goal in the first attack. Refereeing had become a big problem. There is a lot of pressure on us lately. A little negative atmosphere has formed. But because of this, no one can do what they want. Today the referee could not take control of the game. The ball carriers give the ball late, slowing down the pace of the game. Agadadash's disallowed goal... We also watch the episodes on the tablet. Maybe there are other images in the VAR room. Based on the videos we have seen, I say that it was a clean goal. If that goal had been recorded, we could have won. They didn't count our clean goal. Most of the time, when we are ahead in the score, we concede goals. But today, after 0:2, we scored goals and drew. Thanks to the players."

Samir Abasov stated that it is unacceptable for "Neftchi" to retreat to defense: "We are playing in a professional league. None of us know our fate. No football player has the right to give up. There are so many teams in the world. At least you have to play here to gain someone's sympathy. But it is difficult to focus the team on games. But what to do? This is football. We have to learn from this too. We know our problems. Today we played against a closed team. "Neftchi" players are distinguished from other clubs by their material wealth. It is unacceptable for "Neftchi" to retreat to defense and for other teams to play. We will try to eliminate the problems."

It should be noted that "Neftchi" managed to draw despite being 0:2 down.
