Valdas Dambrauskas: "This score shows that the intrigue remains for the return match"

In the first leg of the semi-final stage of the national cup, "Sabah" drew with "Qarabagh" away. Sport24.az reports that Valdas Dambrauskas appeared before the media at the post-match press conference.

- I congratulate both teams on the beautiful game. I congratulate the fans. These two teams proved that fans can enjoy the game. It is not easy to play after a break. They put a lot of pressure in the second half. But our reaction after the goal was great. We were superior in the second half of the second half. This score shows that the intrigue remains for the return match. We have to focus on the championship.

- Was it luck that "Sabah" took the lead?

- Although we took the lead in the first half, we could not keep it. The opponent played very well. We couldn't start the way we wanted. We lost simple balls. We had given the initiative to the opponent. After the changes, we were able to implement what we wanted at the end of the half. Simic also had a chance to score. We have lost our game rhythm, but we will play and win it.

- Did Rahman Dashdamirov adequately replace Noqeyra? Is he worthy to play in the main squad?

- He is very important to us. He is versatile. I was pleased with Rahman's game.

- It is said that the winner of this pair will be the winner of the cup. Do you agree?

- What is important to me are the next games.

- It must be admitted that Pukhach is one of the pillars of the team. Have you had a conversation with the management about his transfer? Without him, "Sabah" may have serious problems in the European Cups.

- All our players are important. Our sports director is thinking about this. We will announce if there is anything official. I am not thinking about Europe at the moment.


- It is said that you want to transfer Kashchuk...

- "Sabah" is a special club. Very good planning, management
