I congratulate “Qarabag” for their result in the Europa League. They fought well against “Braga” with 10 men. Football is played for 90 minutes. We performed well in the first 45 minutes. Then we were in the minority. We have been here for two days. We tried to give all players a chance. If we show the game we showed in the first half today in other matches for 90 minutes, there will be good results. We had some scoring opportunities. We gave away three goals scored by the opponent. “Karabakh” does not forgive mistakes”.
Publika.az reports that the head coach of “Gabala” Kakhaber Shkadaze said these words after the game against “Qarabag” which was postponed from the 23rd round of the Premier League. The Georgian expert also answered the journalists’ questions:
– To what extent did holding the first match against “Garabagh” hinder your plans?
– Sooner or later we would play with them. I think the team pressed well. Players should understand that “Gabala” is a big club, where everything is at a high level. We came here to get the team out of the current situation. The first half was good, in the second half we gifted three goals to the opponent. How can you create a threat in your own goal and the opponent comes and scores? It is difficult to create many scoring opportunities against “Qarabag”. We must forget this game. We have to work.
– You were one of the coaches who applied the 5-4-1 system the best in Azerbaijan. How long will it take you to install this system in Gabala?
– I could see this system in the first 45 minutes. But you have to do it for 90 minutes. It is a bit difficult to do it against “Qarabag”. I love Azerbaijan very much, I had a great time here.
– You came to “Gabala” at a time when the “transfer window” was closed. Can you invite free agent players to the team due to your personal connections?
– We respect everything. I can swear that I received a call from “Gabala” after the last defeat. There was no material discussion there either. I came here to fix the situation. I watched 5 games of the team. We have been working for two days. We could see the result of this, even if only a little. You have to work, work and work.
– What has changed during the 10 years you have not been in Azerbaijan?
– This is my native place. I worked in Azerbaijan for eight years. I always watched the championship. Let’s leave “Karabakh” aside, they are on another level. If they win both games, they become champions. The infrastructure in the country is developed and there are good pitches. A large number of good stadiums is important for the development of football.
– You have not signed a 1.5-year contract. If the team leaves the Premier League, will you stay here?
– I have been asked this question before. Please understand me correctly. Believe me, I never thought about it. I only think positively today. I believe that we will get the team out of this situation.
