"We understood the importance of this game very well. Although we wanted to win very much, unfortunately, it didn't work out."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Elgiz Keremli, the head coach of the "Shafa" football club, at the press conference held after the "Shafa" - "Shahdag Gusar" match in the XXIV round of the Azerbaijan II League.
He spoke about the importance of the game, which ended in a goalless draw.
The specialist stated that although the result was not encouraging, he believes in his team's victory in the next games: "The championship is not over yet, there are two rounds ahead. We hope to win the next two games. At the same time, we hope that the opponent will lose points and in the end we will be the champion."
Keremli commented on the more active fans of the opposing team in the stadium: "We knew how crazy the Gusar fans were, how much they loved their team. Therefore, this environment was not a surprise for us. We are so used to playing without fans... It doesn't matter, even if the opponent has fans, the main thing is that the stadium is full."
It should be noted that after this match, "Shahdag-Gusar" reached 68 points. The northern representative is 3 points ahead of its closest follower, "Shafa".
