"As we expected, it was an interesting, tense, and good game. The first half was more about quality. Fuzuli Mammadov has been newly appointed. We watched and analyzed their two games. It was completely different against "Qarabagh", completely different against us. We knew it would be like this. In the second half, we increased the speed, increased the aggression and intensity more in front, and achieved what we wanted. We had a player who debuted. We congratulate him too. Let me also note that we had 6 local players on the field at the end of the match."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by the coach of "Shamakhi" Elnur Chodarov at the press conference held after the match of the 14th round of the Misli Premier League with "Karvan-Yevlakh".
He also answered journalists' questions.
- Were you in constant contact with Aykhan Abbasov? What was the main instruction?
- The first half was reconnaissance. Because the opponent's head coach was new. We were waiting, we weren't in a hurry. We instructed the players not to rush, to wait for the opponent and play compactly. We were waiting for our episode. In the second half, the players tried to fulfill the tasks as much as possible. We scored a goal and continued.
- One of the goals scored by Diego Balaun won the "goal of the month" nomination. This time, the goal he scored was also beautiful. It seems that he wants to win this award again.
- Let's hope he gets selected (laughs). The second goal was similar to his first goal.
- You played on an artificial turf field. What was the grass cover of Yevlakh stadium like?
- It was heavy on the field. To be precise, the rubber of the artificial turf was hard. It was raining on our faces.
