I congratulate the "Sabah" family, management, and our players on the victory. Today we achieved the victory we deserved."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by "Sabah" head coach Valdas Dambrauskas at the press conference after the 8th round match of the Misli Premier League with "Zira" (3:0).
The specialist added that they prepared very well for the game: "We analyzed "Zira" well. We were the more confident side throughout the game. My players executed the tasks we gave them perfectly. We had a big advantage in the first half. We have great respect for "Zira". "Zira" is one of the teams with the best coaching in Azerbaijan. But we were the side worthy of victory. We didn't even allow the opponent to hit the goal frame once. We knew that the opponent would push forward in the second half and we would catch them on the counterattack. This worked well and we scored the third goal. My players deserve great credit for the victory. "Sabah" must create its own identity. I don't have enough words to describe this victory. Four of our players did not play in this match. But the young players who got a chance today performed very well. I am the happiest coach in the world because I see how they are developing."
He also explained the reason for going to the dressing room after the first half of most games: "We have a video analysis coach and he is in the stands. He comes here to show what is happening during the game. I go there to gain more time and make a choice. I also show the players what details we can improve."
