"I didn't expect more than that. In four days we will play an important game against Maccabi. The main thing is that none of our players were injured. My team did its best, suffered. Many players are burdened by the lack of staff. How will it be?" I don't have an answer to this question. We hope we will play well against Maccabi and get ready for the championship. There will be a break due to the national team's games and it can affect us well. "
The 43-year-old specialist then answered journalists' questions:
- You miss children's mistakes in every game in defense. What do you plan to do with Maccabi with such mistakes?
- No one but God knows what will happen in the game with Maccabi. It's not about the mistakes of some players, it's about the root of it. We often rotate and change the position of the players. Our preparation is not in place. It's hard to say now. Maccabi is neither HIK nor Gabala. It is a team to be lined up with Olympiacos. These should not be mistakes, but this is football and we will try not to make mistakes. If you play in defense with the same people, there will be fatigue and mistakes.
- Harram was not remembered for 80 minutes. Will he be able to give him the game you want?
- How many times have we changed his position on the field. Great players open for months and years. It is possible that our transfer will fail. How many such footballers have there been in Azerbaijan? After some time, they showed themselves. I am against it becoming an object of criticism. Let's be honest, we didn't bring Harram from Barcelona to teach us anything.
- In what position can Harram be more effective?
- Harramp can be more effective in attacks. He played more on the right in the control games. We want to strengthen our strength. We want more from him. I believe it will help.
- You have played 7 games this season, but you say that we should not criticize the players. Who is to blame?
- Look, Emin Mahmudov has to play 90 minutes tired. Because Sabir Bugri had a fever. You go to the European Cups with hopes, but there is no player. The reasons are known. You all know that. We try to do our best with the players we have. Believe me, it doesn't matter who plays how now. They fell on many of my players. But this is an injustice.
- How did you react to Namik Alaskarov's departure in such a situation?
- The departure of the main player is a blow to the team. The departure of the player who was the leader last season is a blow to the team, but not to the club. Neftchi does not lose anyone. He loses Neftchi!
- Did you talk to him when you left?
- It did not happen in one day. The process took a long time. I do not know whether there were those who benefited from this transfer! The player decided and announced this decision 1 day before leaving for Finland. I said, "Go." Neftchi should not make a tragedy out of the departure of one player. This club is a club inherited from our ancestors. Let the one who goes think that he lost "Neftchi"!
- Will there be a new striker transfer?
- No one is expected to come. As a head coach, I analyze this situation and I can say that there will be no new players.
- Is Bugri's fever related to coronavirus?
- No, thankfully there is no virus. We tested it before the game and only the virus was detected in our 3rd goalkeeper. The weather in Finland was cold, and when I returned, 3-4 people, I was confused, had a fever. But we have tested and there is no virus.
- Poor staff, unsuccessful start to the Premier League, defeats in European cups. All this will not "explode in the head" of the head coach?
- The head coach will be hit 100 percent. If in this squad "Why did you leave it, Samir?" If there are conversations like this, I will definitely be hit.
