- What happened in the first half that you made 4 substitutions at once?
- I was completely dissatisfied. When we formed the squad in the first half, our thoughts were that there was a problem with attacking. We have problems creating attacks. I don't know whether to call it inability to do something creative, or what. These problems came to light. They already existed. We thought that Murad was creative, and Ramil Sheydayev should also play on the left flank. Unfortunately, the game was dull. We didn't do what we wanted, nor did they fulfill the tasks given. We came out without a shot on goal in the first half. These are the moments we were dissatisfied with. In the second half, we tried to change these things. We gave the task to attack more. It worked. There were also episodes. But there were no goals. Robert Bauer kicked the ball to the corner from where he was standing. Such experienced players do such things. We conceded a goal from a set piece. We couldn't change anything. Our hope was in the change in the second half. If it were possible, we would have made a 5th change. We have problems, difficulties. I know what caused it. But we have difficulty solving it. We have time. We have time until the window closes. I hope we will bring the players we talked to, maybe we will change something. We have a cup game. It is very important. We will prepare for it. We will give all our strength to the cup and try to do something there. I congratulate the opponent.
- You played with seven local football players. Were you rebelling against the legionnaires? Will you return them in wagons in the summer?
- We will see in the summer whether they will be returned by wagon or "airplane". It wasn't a rebellion. It was just the situation today. We build the squad based on training. There is a style of play I want to see. We have to play with the players we have. It's not a rebellion. If there are 11 locals next time, I would like you to accept it normally. It was just an idea, we did it.
- None of the three central midfielders are playmakers. Is there no number 10 in the team?
- Filip Ozobic is in the number 10 position. Today we played not with the idea of a pure number 10, but with the idea of 3 players in attack. Emin Mahmudov was also supposed to join the 3 defensive midfielders, giving all his strength to the front. We cannot build an attack in any other way. Murad Mammadov dropped out of the game, and Ramil Sheydayev started playing backwards. We saw the opposite of what we did in training. That's why we made 4 changes. Ozobic is also a useful football player, he created a goal from nothing. He also has as many minutes as he can handle. There are realities. When I came, there were injuries, I don't know if they were chronic or not.
It seemed that the desire, the aggression that should have been in the "Neftchi" players was in Urfan Abbasov. Would you like your players to have the desire he has?
- Nothing could be better than that. We would also like our football players to be willing. But frankly, this desire is present in all opponents, in all opponent players in the game against "Neftchi". In the last game, I thought that "Sabah" was willing in the match with us, they did not play badly. I thought it would be the same against "Sumgayit", they would win. But when the first half starts, you see that the opponent playing against you is not an opponent at all. This has happened many times. Last time, "Kapaz" itself... We beat them 2:1, but they missed episodes.. I will say "Sumgayit" again. But I have to say, they played 0:0 in the meeting with them. Urfan's desire is also present in the players of other teams. This is also an issue arising from "Neftchi". I would like to have such things in my team. Our job is to create such a team.
