Samir Abasov: 'We Wanted To Win"
The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov said at a press conference after the 13th round match of the Premier League against Sumgayit: “It was a difficult game. We wanted to win, but, unfortunately, did not succeed. We suffered a lot during the game. Because, as in the previous match, this time we played against a closed opponent. Unfortunately, the absence of Meza Collie and Jorge, who could add strength to the game in such cases, also showed itself. The players did their best and worked hard. Thank you. "
Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “Roman has had a fever for 3 days. Mbodjun's fingers were broken and Mert did not appear because he was punished. Jorge and Caesar were injured in training. It is possible that the injuries are caused by fatigue, as we approach the winter break. In addition, we started the season earlier. But I do not want to look for excuses. Every team has such injuries. We are thinking about what we will change after the winter to improve the situation. This is the work of the interior kitchen. We are looking for. We want to strengthen some positions and improve the local balance. This is very difficult. The children of the academy can benefit from this situation. Time will tell how they will be able to overcome this burden. Our selection service is interested in the Azerbaijanis around us. We are working in this direction, but I can not name specifically. Of course, the player must decide quickly. It depends on his personal ability. Inexperience and haste prevent this. The opponent also played very hard. There is an imbalance and we will not be able to eliminate it in a short time. "
