"We are playing the final round of games in the First League. All the points we earn are important to us. Although we haven't lost during the season, we've had more draws than we expected. We're worried about that."
These thoughts were expressed by "Shafa" footballer Tarlan Guliyev.
The experienced defender shared his thoughts on the game where his team, which he captains, defeated "Shimal" in the 18th round of the First League yesterday.
"We are leading the tournament table with 42 points. We are continuing according to the plan. 3 of our players missed the match against "Shimal" due to the yellow card limit. In addition, 2-3 players could not participate due to injury. This is normal in football. I wouldn't say that the first half was dull. Opponents retreat to defense in matches against us. It happens that they play with 5-6 central defenders. We had 3-4 real scoring opportunities in the first half, but we couldn't capitalize on them. It's like a disease for us (laughs). In the duel with "Baku Sporting", we had 6 chances, and we were able to use 1. Of course, this is not enough. We have a difficult away match against "Shahdag Gusar" ahead of us. We are preparing for that game with all our might," he said in his statement to sport24.az.
Note that the "Shimal" - "Shafa" match ended with a 0:2 victory for the guests.
