"The first game of the season is always difficult because we don't know the opponent and the players in the squad well. You don't know what style they will play, and that makes it difficult."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Rustam Mammadov, the head coach of the I League representative "Zagatala", in his statement to Sport24.az.
The head coach of the team, which started the season with 3 points, shared his thoughts about the game with "Jabrayil": "The opponent had young, eager football players. It is a team with a high desire to fight. I was satisfied with my team's performance. Yes, we had mistakes, there are many things we need to work on. Our team gathered very late, there are players who trained for 2-3 days and went to the match. They have not yet fully adapted to the team. We have physical and tactical difficulties. We will get better from game to game. If we won, we are satisfied with the result. We are pleased that the children fulfill the tasks given. However, I am dissatisfied with the physical condition of the football players. This does not depend on them either. As I said, we gathered very late. We didn't have much time. It takes a certain amount of time for the football players to adapt to each other. The championship will be tense. In any case, the tension has been going on in recent years, there are no clear favorites or outsiders in the league."
It should be noted that the "Zaqatala" - "Jabrayil" match ended with a 1:0 victory for the home team.
