"Sabah" drew 0:0 with "Neftchi" in the away match within the 4th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the Masazir team, Valdas Dambrauskas, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- The result was important for both teams. "Neftchi" had not won either, and we faced an undesirable result in the last game. There were more counterattacks. We made a lot of mistakes in the first half. We made the mistakes we could make during the season. The rhythm of the game was good in the second half. Those who came on later made a good impression. It's difficult if you create so few opportunities up front. The opponent also had a chance to score. The result of the game was fair.
- You have also seen the Azerbaijani national team under the leadership of Fernandu Santos and Aykhan Abbasov. After Abbasov came, he also invited Abdulla Khaybullayev to the national team. In your opinion, is a local or foreign coach better for the Azerbaijani national team?
- This question is not for me. I can talk as much as you want about the "Neftchi" - "Sabah" match. But this is not my business. It should be the choice of the Azerbaijani people, AFFA. The leadership must choose.
- You have scored only 4 points after three games. Did you have such expectations, or did you think that you could collect 9 points from 3 matches?
- Before I came, I realized where I was going. I knew that the championship was tense here, I was watching the championship. Because I had some players who played here. 4 points were unexpected for us. But this may be normal at the beginning of the season. I don't want to make excuses. We have to improve a lot. Today, we were missing important players such as Jesse Sekidika, Zinedin Uld Khaled, Igor Nogueira. This will happen throughout the season, there will be injuries. Andrey Souza made his debut today, Tellur Mutallimov played after a long time. I strongly believe that sparks will grow in the future, there will be victories. We also tried in this match. Some things didn't work out. We have to work on them. Tomorrow we are already starting our new training, we are preparing for the next match.
