"Araz-Nakhchivan" lost to "Neftchi" with a score of 1:2 in the 27th round of the Misli Premier League. According to Sport24.az, the coach of the "red-whites", Vadar Nuriyev, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
"We prepared well for the game. We wanted to win. We came out as if it were a final game. "Neftchi" played well in the first half, we played well in the second half. We improved the game with substitutions, and we also scored a goal. We didn't have flank players. I was satisfied with our team in the 2nd half. I congratulate "Neftchi".
- Can we say that the train to the European Cups has left after this?
- I wouldn't say it's gone. We have 6 games ahead. Our opponents will also have games. We can't say for sure that we've dropped out of the European Cups. It is possible that our opponents will also lose points.
- What was the reason for giving the opponent so many goal opportunities in the first half?
- As I said, we didn't have flank players. Paro is not a flank player. Omar Buludov is also not a left flank player. We didn't expect that such a thing could happen. But it happened. Bruno Franco is also injured. If he had been there, we would have played completely different football. We wouldn't have made such mistakes on the flank.
