"It was an interesting game. We watched a lot of scoring chances. Our victory improved our mood. The success of our soldiers doubles our joy. I believe that soon we will hear a great victory and all our lands will be liberated from occupation."
Sabail's head coach Aftandil Hajiyev said this at a press conference after the 2-1 home victory over Sabail in the ninth round of the Premier League, Offsideplus.az reports.
The 39-year-old specialist said that they could not play well in the first 15-20 minutes: "Sumgayit" is the leader of the first round, they showed it with their games. We had difficulties for 20 minutes. Then we were able to create dangerous episodes in the opponent's goal, and at the end of the part we reached our goal. Although we were ahead, we could not be comfortable. In the second half, the players put more effort and were able to maintain the assigned tasks. We won a great victory. We do not want to be left out of the top rungs, I do not know how much it will cost. But today we are satisfied with the approach of the players. I congratulate everyone and wish success to the opponent. "
Hajiyev recalled that they started training before the season: "The team was late. When there were delays, the opponents were better prepared than us. We could not get all the players we wanted. Over time, we improve our game. We benefit from experienced and young players."
