Samir Abasov: "Unfortunately, We Made Too Many Mistakes"
The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov answered journalists' questions at the press conference after the 9th round match of the Premier League with Karabakh:
"After the defeat, it is difficult to control feelings and anger. We did not start the game badly. We even had a chance to score, but our captain Emin Mahmudov could not fall from two meters. The opponent's players skillfully used the opportunities. Unfortunately, we left enough gaps. There was a difference in level. There are some things I don't believe we can fix. There is an imbalance in our game. We were well motivated today, but one goal after another broke us. If we score, I can say that we resisted the opponent. We played well in some episodes, but the quality spoke for itself. There is a big difference between the two teams in terms of player level. Many people say that you rotate too much, but everything happens in moderation. To be sure, the locals do not respond to such games. They must grow up. Our injured players are local footballers. "Qarabag" has become stronger, it is obvious. Neftchi also has a role in this. Thanks to the fans of both teams, they created a good atmosphere. It would be better if they do not go beyond ethics, but our problem is not the fans. We must admit that our local players do not meet our requirements. It is not necessary to hide anything, it is necessary to tell the reality. That's why we lose at some points. Unfortunately, we cannot nationalize the Ozobichs and Almeida. We lose both in terms of such points and experience. We must give up our spirit and desire. When the game started, the players seemed motivated. The mood was great and will continue to be so. But there are some issues that I am not able to fix. We can nationalize someone. I see a way out in this. "
