Neftchi PFC head coach Samir Abasov expressed his opinion at the post-match press conference of the 22nd round of the Premier League against Gabala:

"It was an exciting and good game. We created a lot of goal episodes, but unfortunately we couldn't use them. We will fight to the end. We have made some changes. The reason for this was to remove the psychological tension from some players. We made 3 changes compared to the last game. It is a pity that we do not return from here with 3 points. We will try to do our best. Our footballers were really eager and enthusiastic. We will inspire them and go to the next match. "

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “Yusuf's change was due to the fact that we released the second striker. We wanted to be more efficient on the front line. As for the media reports about Laval's fight with the coaches, you know the truth better than I do. This is ridiculous. Agil's leg hurt after the last game, but that was not the reason why he was not included in the starting lineup. At the beginning of the conference, I noted that a number of our players began to feel pressure. I have to watch the episode where we missed the second goal again so that I can give an accurate answer. Apart from Ahmed, we also had players who missed our goal episodes. The job of our coaches is to keep the players out of this pressure. Otherwise, we will lose not only that player, but also the team.
