"I congratulate the opponent. We shouldn't have lost today. We conceded a goal from a penalty. It was a somewhat equal game. We shouldn't have lost."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Sumgayit" Sasha Ilic at the press conference held after the match of the 20th round of the Misli Premier League with "Araz-Nakhchivan."
He also answered questions from journalists.
.
- Today, "Sumgayit" didn't look like itself. Can we say that the consecutive games with "Zira" had a big impact?
- No. I don't agree. We showed an equal level of play in all three games. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's football.
- Your next three games will be against outsider teams. Can "Sumgayit" use this opportunity to strengthen its position in the tournament table?
- I wouldn't say that they are weak teams. "Gabala" is a quality team, they have certain results. I don't agree with the idea that it will be an easy game.
- Cedric Badolo has recently joined the team. Do you see the squad you want?
- Badolo is a new player. He has only had one training session so far. We need to strengthen. We are still continuing with this squad. The transfer window is also closed.
- If it doesn't work out this season, will you stay in the team from the new season and fight for European cups with a more stable squad?
- It's not the time to talk about this now, it's too early. We have very difficult games ahead of us. We will fight for European cups.
- In the first part of the season, we saw a happier Sasha Ilic. Now it's not like that. Is this due to the results?
- No. I'm always positive. But if the team loses, it's hard to maintain positivity. The main thing is that the players show quality play on the field. As the head coach of a losing team, I don't see anything to be happy about.
