The head coach of Neftchi PFC Fuzuli Mammadov expressed his views at a press conference after the test match with Keshla. He appeared after a long break and applauded the selfless players:

"It's only to be applauded that teams come out after three months without football and only seven days of training, because the players aren't physically fit because they haven't played for a long time. On the one hand, the hot weather made it difficult for them to do their homework. They showed perseverance on the field. I thank everyone. Of course, there are many shortcomings. We must work on them in the future to be better prepared for the championship game."

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: "Dario Federico has a contract with Neftchi. There is nothing that the club does not want. I am satisfied with his game. As there was no official meeting, we wanted to check some players in a different position. Although Mustivar is a midfielder, he worked hard on the left wing. The game satisfied me. As for Omar, we did not want to take risks because he was injured in training. Bagali Dabo will be with us until the end."

The specialist also commented on the rumors that his brother Khagani Mammadov will join the coaching staff: "I do not know where this news comes from. There is no such thing. Khagani Mammadov works at Gabala. We have no plans to bring him to Neftchi."
