The statement came from Keshla's head coach Sanan Gurbanov at a press conference after their 0-2 defeat to Zira in the third round of the Azerbaijani Premier League, Offsideplus.az reports.
He then answered journalists' questions:
- To what extent do you blame Abang for the red card? The team generally receives a lot of red cards. Last round Shahriyar, now Abang ...
- The situation in Shahriyar was different. There was a judge's mistake. Abang will be severely punished. He will pay the fine. We will send it to the replacement staff. I do not easily forgive such things.
- He is the same player in defense for many years. Maybe this is the main problem of the team?
- That's right. We try to defend as a team. They also made individual mistakes in the game with "Sumgayit". We acted in accordance with the budget. Our favorite players did not come. In the end, we kept the players we had.
- You are on the list of the most extensive in terms of staff. Instead of 4-5 weak players, wouldn't it be possible to transfer 1 normal player?
- We are the team with the least legionnaires. We always want to use the players we have. Maybe our game is not taken. We must solve this.
- Didn't Abang's episode make you a deja vu?
Of course people feel different. We have discipline. I can not accept such things. Sometimes I want to punish myself, where did I go wrong? We must have the right discipline.
- Isn't the problem of "Keshla" the limit?
- We have very few suitable players. Our other players were our substitutes. Azer had injuries and psychological problems. Elchin played in that position. He did not act badly. He had to be trusted.
- Will you meet with the management? How will you explain the situation to them?
- They were satisfied with the game. The Red episode made them angry too. It is a difficult moment and it must be endured. We will fight until the end. If football is the most important part of our lives, we will get out of this situation. The players had to put aside their personal lives and adjust to football.
