Samir Abasov: Those Mistakes Are Unacceptable

Neftchi PFC head coach Samir Abasov expressed his opinion at the post-match press conference of the 17th round of the Premier League against Zira: “The saddest moment in the game is when we conceded a goal. We expected two dangers from the opponent: the standard situation and the goal we conceded. Believe me, I showed the players the situation 10 times, like the goal episode we missed. Even when going to the game, 2-3 players were instructed to do so. I do not blame them for losing, but such mistakes are unacceptable. We know that Zira is a difficult opponent. We did not win this team, we had a sad defeat. We have a hard time breaking through this opponent's defense. Everything was good, we created some dangerous situations and sat at the opponent's door, but, unfortunately, there was a sudden inattention, and I am very sorry for the defeat. "

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “We instructed to start the game quietly, we will create the episodes we want. In addition, we suffer because the players we field later are not fully ready. It is impossible to create 5-10 goal episodes per game, all our opponents are well defended. Our choice of a new player is within a certain framework. Ahmed is the best of those we can. He did not show himself badly today. "
