"I can say about the game that I was worried that the 2-0 victory in the first game could relax us. We knew we were stronger than the opponent. But we shouldn't relax. We completely outplayed the opponent in today's game. We started enjoying the game after scoring the first 3 goals. I liked the reaction of my players after the opponent scored. This game gives a lot of information for the future. This is important for our development. In the 2nd half, we had control of the ball, but we missed a lot of chances in the opponent's 3rd zone. We have to work on this."
Idman.biz reports that Valdas Dambrauskas, the head coach of "Sabah", said this at the press conference held after the 4:1 victory against "Petrocub" in the II qualifying round of the Europa League.
- Did you think that such an easy and determined victory could be achieved against a team that reached the 3rd stage in the Conference League last season?
- After the game is over, it may seem easy to you when you look at the score. But we respect everyone. My players worked very hard for this result. There is a lot of hard work behind the victory.
- How would you comment on the episode when Abdulla Khaybullayev received a yellow card?
- Maybe you mean Ayaz Guliyev? If you mean him, it was an easy yellow card for me. Of course, yellow cards are part of the game. Ayaz was not on the field in the first match. Today he wanted to fight to the end. Sometimes you think he doesn't deserve it, and sometimes the opposite.
- Your attack line is eye-catching: 4 games, 11 goals. What are your thoughts on this?
- I like to play attacking football. The whole team's effort is behind every attack. Sometimes we try not to concede goals. That's why we always talk about attacking football.
- Who would you like to face in the next stage? "Levski" or "Braga"?
- This choice will not affect the result. So it doesn't matter. I don't have the energy to spend on such things.
