Zira's head coach Rashad Sadigov said this at a press conference after the goalless draw with Sabail in the 8th round of the Azerbaijani Premier League, Offsideplus.az reports.

The 38-year-old said: "We haven't seen a well-groomed football on the pitch. However, we could have played better. We have the potential to do that. We haven't been able to do what we want."

The head coach, who reacted harshly to his players in some episodes, said he supported them: "I have faced such a reaction myself. Many coaches demand something from their players. Not always. Because there were moments when I supported them. I demand that they can play better. When I played football, I was very demanding and reacted to the episodes. "

Explaining the reason for the withdrawal of the team's Georgian striker Davit Volkov, the expert attributed this to their inability to score goals: " We have difficulty scoring in the last 3 games. We scored only once. We had good scoring opportunities in Sumgayit. "We had a hard time creating a goal episode. I wouldn't link the problem to Volkov alone. Our opponents are also analyzing us. Sabail was well defended. The striker needs to create conditions for him."
