Sessi Dalmeyda: "We have a problem with finishing, we need to work on it"

Neftchi player Sessi Dalmeida answered journalists' questions after the goalless draw with Karvan-Yevlakh in the 6th round of the Misli Premier League.

Sport24.az presents the interview...

- What are your thoughts on the match? What was missing for the victory?

- I think we will play well. The only issue right now is with finishing. We need to work on this and win to achieve our goal. I think we are playing well, controlling the ball, but we are not finishing the attack. We just have a problem in this part of our game.

– It's the beginning of the championship, the problems are clear. You can't take advantage of scoring opportunities. Six games are behind us. When will these problems be solved, fans ask on social networks?

- Good question. We need to work on this and come back stronger in the next match. Everything is clear. We just have to look at the next game. We need to finish this block of games strongly before the international break due to national team games. We have lost 11 points in six games. That's a lot.

– What will you do to make up for these 11 points in the future?

- The lost points can no longer be recovered. We need to focus on the next points we can get. We are targeting three points in the coming week. We have to focus our attention there. What we lost is in the past, now we have to look at the next game.

– It seems like you have difficulty playing against teams that defend more...

- Yes, that's right. Because these types of teams play more defensively, opening the game less. We have to find solutions against such teams. Moreover, we are missing a lot of goal opportunities. We need to evaluate the opportunities better. But I hope it will be good next week.

– Doesn't the addition of another Neftchi midfielder, Ifeanyi Metyu, to the squad worry you? Could you be on the bench in the next games?

- No. I believe in myself and I think I will play. I have no worries. Every player who comes to the team is good for us. I hope he will also help us achieve our goal.

– The next game is against Zira. They finished second after Qarabag in the last two seasons and played in the European Cups. What should the fans expect from Neftchi in this game?

- I think we should play our game. If we do that and work on solutions, we can win this match.
