The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov said at a press conference after the 15th round match of the Premier League against Qarabag: “It was a tense and interesting game. It was a game we wanted to win, but unfortunately we couldn't. The opponent did not forgive our mistakes. The determination and desire of the players gives hope for future games. I believe we will see Neftchi better. "

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “In the current situation, it is difficult to say anything about the championship. If we accept the realities, the championship will be very difficult. We will go out to win every game. I do not think that the transfers made in the summer failed. This is the case with other teams. The most undesirable parting was the departure of Roman Basque, who also wanted to leave, but we did not send him. We will say our word according to the results achieved. When it comes to failure, management will decide everything. I do not want time for myself. I know the realities. No head coach can talk about time here. The situation is the same in every club. It takes time for new players to adapt. In my opinion, Guillerme Pato was one of the best today, although he was condemned. Every player needs time. If a player is in my team, I can't say that it was a failed transfer. Khayal Najafov showed himself well on the field today. Attention to Yusuf Laval has increased even more. In the past, there were more gaps, but now there are sometimes difficulties. I do not think that his speed has slowed down, on the contrary, he is one of the most active in the attack. There is a lot of attention to him from abroad. The appearance of Azer depends on his physical condition. There is a period of time that must pass. After that, you will have a chance to play more. The reason for the changes in the second half was to intensify the attack. We have not changed the system. Much also depends on the opponent. Plays too hard. We need to analyze the game to tell what we did wrong or right. Sabir Bugrin and Mamadou Kane were our key players. Kane's case is over. Until the last day, our hopes were high. Our initial conversations were that 90-95 percent of the player will return to Neftchi, but the day we arrived in Baku, we learned at the airport that he would go to Olympiacos. The fans want us to go to every game, show determination and win."
