According to Offsideplus.az, Gurbanov first spoke about the game:
"The first games are always tense. We were more active in the second half, we created goal episodes. This is the opposite of football. We conceded two goals in the counter-attacks. I think the score was not due to the game." Sumgayit played more defense and counter-attacks. "We have to forget about this game and look to the future. We understand that we need to think more broadly. It was to take advantage of so many goal episodes that bothered us."
He then answered journalists' questions:
- In the first half, you built the game on long shots. Was this your special assignment?
- We knew that Sumgayit would be closed. We just couldn't use the scoring opportunities. And so on
How can "Keshla" score?
- Today, the factor of luck turned away from us. We just need to hit accurately from close range. We will try to draw conclusions from the match and work on it in training.
- Amil Yunanov entered the game too late ...
- We took out the defender and released him. We were lagging behind in the game plan. Although we controlled the ball on the field, there was a need for a striker. We believe in the potential of the factor. We will see him on the field in the next games.
