"The game was not easy for us. We all know the strength of Qarabag well. Considering that they had a game in the near future, maybe they were a little tired. But we prepared well for the game and approached the match with all our strength."
These words were stated by Sumgayit goalkeeper Mehdi Jannatov in his statement to futbolinfo.az.
After the 1:0 away victory over Qarabag, Jannatov added that all the players were fully prepared for the game: "Even those who came on later showed a good game. That's why we won. The team showed its maximum strength in this match. But there is no need to get excited yet. Only two games have been played, which means nothing. There are many games ahead. We will move towards our goals step by step. We will show our strength by playing to the maximum in every match. Our first victory gave the team extra motivation and confidence."
The goalkeeper also talked about the changes within the team compared to last season:
"A lot has changed compared to last year. The newly arrived players had their say on the field. When you watch the game, you can see that the game is at a completely different level, and the atmosphere in the stands has also changed. It is important to attract fans back to the stadium. We must prove this with our performance and victories. I am sure the stands will be full again."
Speaking about the squad to be announced in the coming days, Jannatov noted:
"There are few local players in the championship right now, only two people have such an opportunity. Some players do not perform stably on the field, but this does not reflect their ability. Not every player is called to the national team immediately. The last word is with the head coach. We just have to wait and be ready at any moment."
