"The game was difficult. We didn't expect the field to be like this. We knew that it was necessary to show character on such a difficult field. Both teams had difficulties in terms of speed. Today, both teams deserved a point. Unfortunately, we could not use 2 real goal episodes in the second half. The opponent took advantage of one episode. We played football on such a field. I thank my players. The opponent is more experienced than us, has a wider squad. We will continue, the fight is ahead. I congratulate the Tovuz fans, they have seen the days they have been waiting for a long time."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Shamakhi" Aykhan Abbasov at the press conference held after the match of the 10th round of the Misli Premier League with "Turan Tovuz".
He answered journalists' questions:
- Don't you think that the game was tough and rude?
- I don't think so. The field demanded it. I also felt sorry for the field that they suffered so much... It was also my wish that "Turan Tovuz" would switch from an artificial turf field to a natural turf field. I think they rushed. What was scary? There could be bad injuries. Because the grass was not staying in place. But what can we do, we had to play. The field demanded a tough game.
- From the national team...
- I will not talk about the national team. The opposing coaches are protesting a bit. Because the press conference takes a long time. God willing, I will answer your questions at the national team's press conference. It also happened in Gabala last week, the coaches are protesting that Aykhan Abbasov's press conference takes a long time, he talks about the national team. Let's abide by this. I will answer your important questions.
- Was the previous artificial turf field of the Tovuz stadium better or the current natural turf field?
- This place will be good. It was necessary. Let's appreciate the work they have done. If only the game was held after the national break, the field would be more perfect. I don't think the field was ready.
- When will the grass cover of the stadium in Shamakhi be replaced with natural cover?
- I am happy about the change of grass cover of the stadium in Tovuz. This is necessary for our football. We have to say that. We need to encourage a little bit. I congratulate the management of "Turan Tovuz", Tovuz for doing a great job. I hope that there will be many teams in the Premier League and everyone will play on natural turf fields.
