“It was an interesting, dynamic, intense game. Both teams could have won.”
As reported by İdman.biz, this was stated by Shahin Diniyev, the head coach of “Sabail”, which played a draw with “Araz-Nakhchivan” in the XXIII round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
An experienced specialist commented on the result 2:2. He said that the team is developing from game to game:
“From the 19th round to the 23rd, there was an improvement in the team’s play. We conceded a goal after a blunder in the first half. In the second half we completely dominated the field. I think we are on the right track. If we find a stable lineup, we will play well. There are two points. One is a psychological factor, the other is functional training. The guys went through good physical training. Functional training is enough for 180 minutes. Poor results after the 12th round caused fear in the team. They want to win. This bothers us a little.”
Shahin Diniev noted that the team must move towards the championship step by step:
“This team fought for several years to stay in the Premier League. Now we have become average. We need to go step by step, we cannot become champions overnight. We need to lay the foundation and strengthen the missing positions every 6 months. “Sabail” is no longer a whipping boy. I agree, our local selection was not very successful. Some people think that our budget is so big that we can do everything. We have a problem in terms of local football players. But they do what they can. Even if it’s pretentious, I’ll say it. Today we should think about Azerbaijani football. All clubs are fighting for a place in European competitions. All this hinders the team. If I was only thinking about myself, I would say that we should play with 11 foreign players.”
Let us note that “Sabail” left the field with one point for the second game in a row.
