Sumgayit lost to Kapaz 1:2 in the 30th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that Velichko Kaplanovich, the coach of the "chemists," answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- Today, unfortunately, I don't want to talk about the game. I should actually talk about the referee. I congratulate the opponent. I didn't understand why the penalty was given. It is clear that we are in a comfortable place in the standings. But still, I can't understand such an action against us. Such things happen every time in Sumgayit's game. Every time a red card... Sasha Ilic has received a red card several times. I have also been given one myself. I don't understand what this is about. The ball hit the hand from the body. I can't understand such a penalty. This is not the first time. We lose points because of such things. I'm a little excited, I can't control my emotions. But this shouldn't be the case.
- There was a mistake by the defenders before the second penalty. What do you attribute this to?
- The second penalty was clean. I don't say anything about it. Yes, we made a mistake. We will analyze it. The problematic issue for us is the first penalty. I don't understand why such things happen against Sumgayit every time. Head coach Sasha Ilic didn't say anything to the referee. But he was punished directly with a red card.
- Rustam Ahmadzada was very angry when he was substituted and went straight to the dressing room. Is he expecting punishment?
- A professional football player should actually be happy that he is playing. Football is not an individual sport. You have to do everything for the team.
- The referee of the game is originally from Ganja. Do you think this is normal?
- This is ridiculous. I think it's unfair. I congratulate Kapaz. First of all, you have to be professional. You also have to think about the young player. If an 18-year-old football player faces such injustice, it can affect his future.
- Do you look when the appointments are announced? The VAR referee is also inexperienced...
- I don't actually analyze it. My main job is related to the players. It is possible that one of the referees of our game with Gabala was a football player of this club. It doesn't matter to us.
