Sabail's head coach Aftandil Hajiyev said this at a press conference after the 1-1 draw with Qarabag in the 11th round of the Azerbaijani Premier League at the Bayil Arena, Offsideplus.az reports.

The 39-year-old specialist said that both teams have serious losses: “The coronavirus has affected us the most in the championship. Today, 4 players of the main squad could not appear. Despite the losses, we played one of our best games today. Although we had a good chance to score in the first half, we could not use it. Although we differed in the second half, we could not keep up the pressure. Nevertheless, we gained 1 point. Let's take into account that we played with the best team of recent times. I believe that we will rise to the top. "

"Sometimes the opponent forces you to defend. We knew how to defend. You will probably agree that we are not only defending today. I analyzed the advantages of Qarabag and explained it to my players," the head coach said.

Hajiyev said he was pleased with Amil Yunanov's performance: "He is one of the few local strikers. I am satisfied with his game today. But he can play better. He works hard. I believe he will regain his form soon."
