Gabala's head coach Elmar Bakhshiyev, who won 2-0, held a post-match press conference, Offsideplus.az reports.
The 41-year-old specialist said that the opponent is a team that prefers a little power football: "We were expecting a hard game, we saw it. There was pressure in every zone. After the defeat to Qarabag, we tried to gather the team. We felt that they were fully motivated for the match in training. As a result, we gained 3 points in a meaningful game.
Bakhshiyev also shared his opinion about his former Gabala colleague Sanan Gurbanov: “It was not a matter of principle that the opponent's head coach was Sanan Gurbanov. We wish him success and believe that he will be able to form a good team. He has the ability to do his part and raise Keshla to a new level. "
The head coach thinks that with the exception of the cup match with "Garabagh", they were generally successful: "We did not base our work on criticism. Our will is only to make the players more responsible in the training process, to fulfill the assigned tasks. We were a little dull in the return match of the country cup with "Garabagh". But I am satisfied with the general performance of my team and its approach to matches. This is not yet our maximum strength. We can be better in attack plan."
