Right after the 0:0 away against Simurg in the 8th tour of the Topaz Premier League on Sunday, Yuri Semin talks:

“We played well in the defensive display. It was well evident as we prevented the opponents from making any real threat. But my squad were not in their best on the forward line, although we could get much more chance to score. There were lack of some precise crosses and shots to finish attacks on our side. We tried for some ways and replaced the forwards. But they were unable to drive benefits from their chances. We well knew Simurg would play accurately on defense. The rivals are of the teams allowing goals least.

Anyway, we added one more point to stay on the top of the league table. Today I saw Dodo and Amit playing not so weakly. But they looked making me satisfied with their respond to my tasks. Actually, I was thinking of taking benefits from my 3rd substitution to introduce Nizami. But then Dodo came to play a bit better and I changed my mind about Nizami”.
