"We achieved good results given the team's conditions, finances, and current squad. Our reserve bench is very scarce. The team has suffered a lot this season." These words were said by Rustam Mammadov, the head coach of "Zaqatala", in an interview with Sport24.az.
The coach of the I League representative complained about the team's lack of a sponsor:
"Musa Gurbanov and Gurban Gurbanov are helping the club. They said they would be sponsors for a while. Later, the club management said that they did not fulfill certain conditions. Those inside the club know well what hardships we went through in the winter. If we look at the past matches, we have 10 draws. If we had won 5 of these games, we would have been in a higher position in the tournament table." The main reason we couldn't finish the season in the top 3 is clear. Lack of funds and our inability to make the transfers we wanted. If we could have made a few transfers, we would have been among the prize winners. In addition, one football player left the team, and 3 ended the season early due to injuries."
It should be noted that "Zaqatala" is in 4th place with 34 points after 25 rounds. The regional representative won against "Karvan", who qualified for the Premier League in the last round - 3:0.
