"Neftchi" faced "Zira" away in the XVIII round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that Vitali Vernidub, the assistant coach of "Neftchi", participated in the press conference after the match, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
The expert said the following about the game:
– It was a good game. Such games raise the level of the Azerbaijan championship. Both teams were fast and there were enough scoring opportunities. It was an interesting game for the fans. We had the advantage in most parts of the game. The players played very well. The main thing is to show a game at the level that suits "Neftchi". As for the last minutes, we will look, investigate, draw conclusions for ourselves, and what to do so that the situation does not come to this.
– Did you watch the episode of the goal you conceded? What happened in the last minutes?
– I treat it with respect. I don't want to talk about the last minutes.
– Couldn't a faster striker be put on the field instead of Vensan Abubakar?
– You can approach it that way, but we wanted Abubakar to keep the ball forward and give passes to others. Also, he could help us in standard situations. "Zira" is good in these situations. Everyone who came on the field played at a high level. They want to increase.
