"Neftchi" drew goalless with "Turan Tovuz" in the 13th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that it presents a report from the post-match press conference of "white-blacks" coach Sanan Gurbanov.
- We played against an ambitious club. Our expectations on this field were a competitive game. We were able to hold training for two days. We came here to win. If our team takes the work seriously in the coming days, success is not far away.
- What did you want to change?
- We were just trying to play more seriously in defense. Our opponent is dangerous in transitions from defense to attack. "Neftchi" deserves better places.
- Can this point be considered satisfactory?
- Victory could have put us in the top ranks as well. Both teams eventually won 1 point. We need to look at it with hope. It will be good if we increase the quality of the fight.
- You left Tovuz, you had to come back. How did you prepare yourself for this match?
- I tried to prepare both myself and the team psychologically. Our team did not perform badly.
- You have worked with famous people in your career. You also became Abubakar's head coach. What was it like working with him?
- He is a very professional football player, he takes his work seriously. He comes to the base early and works hard in training.
- Samir Abbasov said in his last interview that someone should be behind a person. Is someone really needed?
- Samir Abbasov is my friend, he was the one who made "Neftchi" champion for the last time. He is a proven coach. These achievements bring the coach to the fore.
- Can we say that Neftchi's goal for the next period will be the national cup?
- It's not easy to play under pressure. "Zira" is a serious opponent. We will continue preparations.
- Samir Abasov was criticized for giving young people few chances. We didn't see Rza Jafarov on the field. Murad also played little...
- It would not be correct to make global changes all of a sudden. Rza, Agadadash and Murad are also promising football players. They have also gained enough chances.
- Will you take the team to the cup game with Zira?
- I do not know. I work at the academy. If they say so, I will gladly help.
- What prevented you from signing a direct contract?
- You have to be successful here all the time. If they make an offer, I will gladly accept it.
