Ramiz Mammadov: “After defeating to Turan, I told to my squad about how much important it is to win over Garabagh. They were well responding to the task and took the victory. We have played in a good performance today.
It is good for also the favour of the national team as Anar Nazirov came on with the starting staff. I believe he will be helpful to the provisional in the absence of Kamran Aghayev. Anar was of the coolest performers on the show. Diego lost his overweight and I am convinced he will be able to get back to the field in the closing days”.
Gurban Gurbanov: “My team have some serious problems. It is evident and hard to deny the fact. I regret failing with the match today. More honestly, the opponents kept us off from showing our real possession. We had planned Rauf Aliyev to play on point forward, but the opponents dragged him out of his position. He kept working back into the center to get the ball. I do not want to put the problems on anyone. They were faults of all the staff. Elnur Abdulov and some other young players were brought to the kick-off squad as they were well with the trainings before the match. But the later some other substitutes failed to give good performance. They showed only some quick actions within the 15 minutes after coming on the field”.
