Today, the postponed match of the 5th round between Qarabag and Sabail (4: 0) was held in the Azerbaijani Premier League.
Sabail head coach Aftandil Hajiyev held a press conference after the away match, Offsideplus.az reports:
- We knew the heavy schedule. It is also difficult for the players. The field factor also has its say. In the locker room, I see that 2-3 players have minor injuries. What we had planned before the game, the early goals ruined it. We had a chance to change the game in the second half. If we scored a goal, maybe we would leave with a point. We know the strength of the opponent, but I did not expect this result. When it was 0: 2, the outcome of the game was unknown. We missed the 3rd and 4th goals due to individual mistakes. We tried to get points from the field until 0: 2. We will look at the next games. We will play against Sumgayit on the road. It is more important to restore players than to train them.
- There is a staff shortage in the team. Is a transfer expected in the coming days?
- Negotiations are underway with a midfielder. He is a northern Macedonian player. I do not want to name. A new player will join our team until the next match. We can't find the players we want. Although difficult, we will try to eliminate the shortcomings. Adilkhan was one of the best in the game today. We will give him more chances in the future.
- You spoke about the field factor. What do you think about this problem?
- There is a problem that I express. I don't know what to think anymore. We want the players to survive the next games. I think that in the future all stadiums will have natural grass pitches.
- What do you think about Nicolas Hagen's game?
- Not only Hagen, but also other players made individual mistakes today. In the near future, Kamran Agayev will also have a chance in the games.
- You will play 3 games in a row with "Sumgayit" ...
- We will fight till the end. Points are tight in the championship, everyone has a chance. We will also try not to miss this race.
