The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov expressed his views at the post-match press conference of the 15th round of the Premier League against Karabakh. Stating that the main reason for the victory was not the game, but the character, the expert thanked the players:

"I told the players in the locker room that we have two days to rejoice. Then we have to tune in to the next game. I congratulate "Karabakh" for its work. Playing against this team has always motivated me. Members of our team suffered today. Thank you to everyone. Sometimes this happens, that is, the opponent changes the plan we have already made. However, we managed to do it. Perhaps the main reason for our victory today was not the game, but the character. We will prepare for the next match. "

Then the head coach answered journalists' questions: “Of course, it is encouraging to beat the main opponent in the fight for the championship, but to be honest, it is possible that we will lose points in games with other teams. After the return match in the cup match with "Zira", it was interpreted differently to say "super" about our team. However, I had to say these words to encourage the players before the next match. I think we are on the right track. We must strengthen and gain the trust of those around us. We replaced Saman Narimanjahan, who later entered the field. Because after Stankovic received a red card, we had to field Fahmi as a right-back. As for our new transfer, we focused on 3-4 forwards, but according to their clubs, this work was not taken. Ahmed Ahmedov's lease option appeared at the last moment and we took this step to close the gap in the offensive line. I hope he will come soon and show his good side. "
