Today, in the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup, "Sabah" drew 0:0 with "Gabala" at home. Sport24.az reports that after the match, the head coach of "Gabala" Kakhaber Tskhadadze answered journalists' questions at the press conference:
"It was a good game. I think the fans enjoyed it. I think my players played well against the league leader and fulfilled their tasks. We played well in defense. Unfortunately, we couldn't convert the penalty. We showed that we can play against strong opponents.
- You haven't lost in 3 consecutive matches after the winter break. You are already able to reflect the good game in the result. What would you associate this with?
- First of all, let me note that we had transfers. We strengthened the squad. We worked a lot on our mistakes. We used to make a lot of mistakes in defense. Before the game, there was an opinion that "Sabah" would score 3 goals against "Gabala" today. I also consider this opinion as disrespect for the team. We showed everyone that we can play against everyone. One of the most important aspects is that the players should not be complacent after this. It is necessary to maintain the balance. Rza Jafarov also played his first match. We believe in him. We will have one more transfer. We had previously announced that we would have 5 transfers.
- Considering that one of the main goals of "Gabala" this season is not to leave the Premier League. Can playing with the main squad in the cup match affect the situation in the championship?
- I agree with you. Our main goal is to stay in the Premier League. I don't know if we can do it or not. We have enough time for the match with "Neftchi". I think that after our new transfers fully adapt to the team, it will be possible to rotate.
