"We couldn't have brought Abubakar in time, he was unattainable for us. Because the Azerbaijan Premier League is not a place where such football players aspire to."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by "Neftchi" head coach Samir Abbasov after the match against MOIK in the Bizon Azerbaijan Cup.
The match ended with a 6:2 victory for "Neftchi".
"We weren't just chasing after Abubakar, that is, we weren't looking for a name. We were looking for a striker who would show his level with one touch inside the penalty area. There were enough names at that time. We chose and brought the most ideal one for us. But I am against focusing solely on the name. All football players play. I also see what the other football players are doing.
As for the game, the cup tournament has always been difficult for us, but "Neftchi" is a team for which every next game is a priority. Despite the difficulty, we will fight to the end on both fronts. We understand the importance of every game, we also feel the pressure. Therefore, it doesn't matter who the opponent is," Abbasov said.
