After the match of the III round of the Misli Premier League "Sumgayit" – "Shamakhi" (1:1), the head coach of the home team, Sasha Ilic, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the meeting…
– It was a difficult game. Both teams could have won. Although we played well in the first half, things didn't go as we wanted in the second half.
– The team that didn't concede a goal in two games gave a weak impression in defense today. What was the reason for this defense?
– We conceded a goal from a normal situation. There were breaks in the game after the opponent's long passes.
– The break is coming up. You have 2 wins and 1 draw. Would it be better for the championship to continue in this situation?
– The break is in our favor. We spent a lot of energy in the game with "Qarabag". Although our winning streak did not continue, this break was good.
– What is the status of the transfer issue?
– Ask the management.
– Is it satisfactory to score 7 points in 3 rounds, or did you expect more?
– Considering that "Qarabag" is also among these teams, 7 points in 3 games is good. It is still the beginning of the championship. There are adjustment issues. We try to get better from game to game.
– What is the reason for Ramalingom's substitution? Did you get what you wanted from Ninkovic?
– Ramalingom had spent enough energy. That's why his fatigue was felt. I put Ninkovic on the field because he has good ball control ability. But he didn't play well enough.
– What are the differences between what you thought about the championship at the beginning of the season and now? What was surprising?
– Time is needed to talk in detail. "Qarabag" is the strongest team in Azerbaijan. I think the championship will be difficult.
– As the head coach who defeated "Qarabag" in the Champions League, did you receive congratulations from your homeland?
– No, there was no such congratulation.
