"Turan Tovuz" drew 1:1 with "Shamakhi" in the 32nd round of the Misli Premier League at their home ground. Sport24.az reports that Yunis Huseynov, the coach of the western region's representative, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the game:
- We wanted to win. We needed 3 very important points today to move up to 3rd place. Unfortunately, we couldn't win. Soon after taking the lead, we conceded a goal. In the last round as well as today, we created chances for the opponent ourselves, not the opponent, and conceded a goal. We need to prepare very seriously for the upcoming games. We were not very satisfied with the team today.
- The team wins against "Sabah" and "Qarabag", but loses points in games against relatively weaker opponents. What is the reason for this?
- We talk about this ourselves. If we hadn't lost points in games against the opponents you mentioned, we might have been in 2nd place. I myself have played football. The players' mindset is different against "Qarabag" and "Sabah". We repeat many times that it is necessary to be fully serious. We are working on this. After each game, Kurban Berdiyev also talks to the players.
- Almost all of "Karvan"'s successes are connected with your name. The Yevlakh representative secured a place in the Premier League today. If there is an offer, would you like to work at "Karvan" again?
- I wish success to all teams that have risen to the Premier League. It is good for regional clubs to be in the elite. But I currently feel happy at "Turan Tovuz". I will help Kurban Berdiyev until the end.
- Why couldn't the team increase in attack?
- Our weakness is that we cannot increase in attack. When this does not happen, you will not be able to score. You have to attack. We have difficulty holding the ball in front. It is easy to hold the ball in the back. Because there are fewer opponent players there. We also have difficulties scoring goals. But we concede goals very easily.
- Will you wait for "Qarabag" to win the cup final to qualify for the European Cups?
- There are still 4 games ahead. You never know what will happen. Our only goal is to play for 3rd place. We don't want to wait for the cup final. We want to participate in European Cups. "Turan Tovuz" fans are amazing. The club's management has also created all kinds of conditions for the team. I believe we will win a place in the European Cups.
