After the match of the XXXII round of the Misli Premier League "Sumgayit" - "Neftchi" (2:2), the head coach of the home team Vagif Javadov answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first expressed his views on the meeting...
- Both teams were playing to win. I am satisfied with my team. Despite the fact that we conceded goals from our own mistakes. I am very pleased with the game. "Neftchi" is a good opponent, they have strong players. Nevertheless, my team played well.
- What happened that the advantage shifted to the opponent from 2:0?
- Anything can happen in football. We had individual mistakes. In addition, the opponent's name, skill level showed itself. You can only applaud playing against this team like this. One point is also a point.
- Did you win, or did you lose two points?
- I am disappointed that my team could not win. But the opponent must also be taken into account. Two mistakes were critical for us. That's what's upsetting. That's how it was meant to be.
- After 2:0, you took out the main players and the opponent scored two goals...
- There was no substitution in the opponent's first goal. But after the goal, we tried to make changes. Some things worked, some didn't. We lost because of individual mistakes.
- You conceded a goal after Karashvili's mistake. Do you consider yourself guilty?
- If you want to put it on me, there is no problem. I repeat, if you are on the side of what is right, ask other coaches these questions as well.
- You played Khayal in the goal, he conceded two goals over his head...
- Khayal made good saves in Tovuz. Was he good then, and bad now? You need to be next to a young player.
- Do you think the sports press is biased against you?
- I have always wanted support. Seeing such expressions for a new coach upsets me. I took the team in a difficult situation. Experienced coaches are asked different questions, a young coach is asked different ones. I wouldn't want my team to lose points today.
- The football you want, the game you apply looks good from the outside. So what is missing to stay stable?
- There are many nuances. Let's finish this season well. The main thing is that there is work. A lot depends on the squad to stabilize the situation. I hope everything will be fine.
- Rovlan Muradov is one of the best in his position. What's the problem that he's not playing?
- I hadn't scored a goal for 11 games. In these matches, Rovlan was in the main squad. He doesn't even have an assist in these games. Sertan, on the other hand, is useful in the games he participates in. So why shouldn't I give him this chance now? Rovlan must also wait for his chance. Rovlan has been given a chance in 17 games, and in these matches, it is necessary to take into account those who play less. We want to take advantage of every player. We have no problem with Rovlan. He is also good in training. We may see him in the next games. Sertan is better in that position now.
