According to Offsideplus.az , the coach of the "flagship" said the following about the game:

"We are still in the excitement of the game. If so many goals are scored, the fans will enjoy the match. Our goal was to believe in ourselves, to fight and fight. We knew the level and strength of the opponent, but we did not appear to lose. We had a plan before the match. It was better, and we were ready for it. If you ask me what changed after the break, I can say that we could have scored goals and goals even in the first half. Just the last passes, the last touch was sometimes not enough. We scored goals. Thank you to every player. There is a return match and we will start everything from scratch. We know we will go with losses, but we keep our positivity. Now we will focus on the match with "Zira".

- Will Neftchi be able to show that 17-minute time frame for 90 minutes?

- We do not make a 17-minute plan before the games. Sometimes something is taken, sometimes not. Our desire is to play like this for 90 minutes. It may sound abnormal to someone, but we could have done all this in the first half, but the players did not understand each other well. We fell into the atmosphere of the game. It was an unfortunate goal, but it did not break us. At the end of the first part, we began to believe in ourselves. We were able to turn our game plan into quality. The second goal we scored makes me happy. We worked on this episode for months, and the players did not lose themselves in such an important match and did their homework.

- Mistakes in defense do not end. Mamadu Mboc, Omar Buludov, and now Ismail Zulfugarli ...

- In the next games we will play forwards (laughs). We exaggerate some episodes. There was no denying that the opponent was better in the first half. When it comes to defense, we managed to close which zones we had to close as a team, because Maccabi has very dangerous players. It's not my player's fault. There were individual mistakes, yes, but we will eliminate them. I don't want to talk much about Ismayil, he is a young footballer. We will give him and others a chance. But maybe we will play forwards (laughs).

- Mert Çelik was excited at the beginning of the match…

- He is also very young. Sometimes experienced players are so excited. Did Mert have such high-level matches?

- The opponent came very close to the goal several times. Will you work on them in the away match?

- Yes, you can be 100 percent sure. We will try not to give these episodes to the opponent.
