In the 24th round of the Misli Premier League, Neftchi defeated Gabala 3:1 away. Sport24.az reports that Neftchi's head coach Yuri Vernidub shared his thoughts on the game at the press conference held after the game:
"I want to thank our fans. It was an interesting game. Although Gabala lost, I like their game. Regarding the refereeing, I can say that if it continues like this, everything will be fine. Gabala has a very beautiful football center. The stadium is great. There are also very good pitches for training."
Touching on the topic of the fight for a place in the European Cups, the specialist noted: "Not going to the European Cups would not be a tragedy, just an unpleasant event. There are several candidates. We will do our best. There are still 10 rounds left. Success depends on our hands, feet and body."
Vernidub, who also spoke about the negative reaction in the Ukrainian press after meeting with the head coach of the opponent Kurban Berdyev after the match with Turan Tovuz in the previous round, approached the issue as follows: "I am not interested in what is written. I don't know how many passports Berdyev has. As far as I know, he is Turkmen. I didn't even know what he put in the pictures. In short, I am the same as I was on the first day of the war. Let those who write about this say what they have done in four years? I am 60 years old, let them provoke me as much as they want. I am in football and I continue my work."
