Vasili Berezutski: "We will do everything we can to win the Cup."

After the semi-final match of the Azerbaijan Cup between "Sabah" and "Neftchi" (1:1), the head coach of the home team, Vasili Berezutski, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the match... 

- In the first half, it was almost a mutual attack. I thank the kids. After the break, we had many scoring opportunities. We showed character and deservedly advanced to the final.

- The score could have been higher. Was the failure to capitalize on the episodes due to excitement? How do you plan to overcome this problem in the final?

- Of course, we have realization problems in previous matches as well. We are trying to solve it.

- Both you and the team made history. You are in the final for the first time. By winning the Cup, you can write the next history...

- There is one more game. The title is a prestige. We will do everything we can to win the Cup.

- Your next opponent in the championship is "Qarabag". You will also face this team in the final...

- There will be rotations. We are on a tight schedule. Anything can happen in the final. We will do our best. 

- You played more dominantly in the first game, but today you chose the opposite. Did you want to protect the 2:1 victory? Why didn't you play dominant football?

- We had the advantage in the game in the second half. The main thing is that we are in the final.

- Will you pay attention to the championship games, or will all the attention be on the final?

- Every game will be important for us. We will see it as preparation for the final.

- Is there a plan to invite Leonid Slutski to Azerbaijan to give you moral support in the final?

- I would invite him with great pleasure. I think he would like to come himself. But I don't know his schedule in China.
