Tiago Silva: "Turan Tovuz" was more aggressive and won;

"In the first 15-20 minutes, the opponent was clearly superior to us. We didn't start the match well from the first minutes." These words were said by Zira's goalkeeper Tiago Silva in his statement to Sport24.az.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper shared his thoughts on the XXI round match of the Misli Premier League, which they lost to Turan Tovuz (0:2):

"In the second half, we gained a relative advantage. This was natural. The team that was ahead in the score played more carefully in defense. We had few goal chances, but we couldn't take advantage of them. I think that Turan Tovuz was the more aggressive and eager side in the game. The more aggressive side was able to win."

The Brazilian goalkeeper said that there was no problem with communication with the defenders:

"I don't think there is a problem in defense. We have conceded similar goals before. It's not the first time. We just need to analyze these in the current situation and eliminate the problems. We aim to qualify for the European Cup. We want to achieve this."

Silva commented on conceding goals at the beginning of several games:

"In the current situation, all my teammates must understand that we did not go to the European Cups for nothing for two consecutive seasons. Sometimes the aggression and pressing we show helps us in various games. We also lacked aggression in the match against Turan Tovuz. We must perform differently in the next meetings."

Finally, the player shared his thoughts on the match against Araz-Nakhchivan in the XXII round:

"We want to win. We have to work for this. We need to be more aggressive now. If there is a different fighting spirit, we can win."
