The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov expressed his views at the post-match press conference of the 21st round of the Premier League against Sumgayit.

"It's hard to comment after the defeat, but we still have to speak and be honest. The players are not to blame. Congratulations to the opponent, they took the opportunity. I want to talk about the processes before the game. Regardless of the opponent, today's match scared us. Because our game is not taken every time after a long break. Therefore, such a defeat is the fault of the coaching staff. We could not train the players enough. Nothing is over, we will try to rectify the situation. True, this is a blow to us. Unfortunately, we faced this. The players had motivation and desire, but we were saddened by their lack of discipline. The main thing is that we know our mistakes and we must eliminate them as soon as possible. "

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “We are not offended by the head coach of the rival team. Just to avoid an argument, I rushed in to calm the children down. Relations with Aykhan Muallim are in order. Personally, I do not want to talk about any player, it was a sad team game. Today, we would lose to any team, not to Sumgayit. We played against ourselves and was ruined. As Neftchi, we are doomed to win. We admit that our game is not great. We could not properly assess the 20-day break, we were overworked. "
