ELKHAN ABDULLAYEV -100 DAYS IN "GARABAGH"...
After the last championship came to an end "Garabagh" which remained without a chief coach considered various variants and considered Elkhan Abdullayev as proper fro the position. He is already 100 days in "Garabagh" 100, as a chief coach. We present the opinion of the professional about this period and the state of the team to our visitors.
- Mr. Elkhan, how do you characterize past 100 days?
- Our fans knew that we got to trainings later than others. We collected the team in 20 days. I can’t say that we formed a strong team for this period but I can say that we formed a fighting team. As a result we could return from the hard match with "Turan" with at least a point. As a result in the match with "Neftchi" we were ahead in the score for two times. But the fact that in the end we couldn’t retain what we have gained is our gap. We work over it. But along with this if we look at the matches we lost it’s seen that we didn’t lose easily.
- The team struggles in the Championship and in the Cup simultaneously. The period past is sufficient for you to tell what the team is worth.
- We have 3 defeats after 5 rounds in the championship. But these defeats were with the teams which struggle for the name of a champion and this is natural. In matches like this we could be winners as well as our rivals. We have a long marathon ahead and the time will show what we can. In the Cup the lots were on our side in contrast to the championship. To gain a success we should make up gaps in our personnel and we will do it in the brakes of rounds.
- As you said you formed the personnel of the team again. Fro sure are there any footballers in the team who justified your trust and who didn’t the new personnel...
- Of course. Among the newcomers I would like to mark Kravchenko from the Ukraine and Voskoboynik. They are different from the local footballers. I can also name Mushviq Guseynov who came this year. In spite of that he is 35 he can draw the team and score a goal. The defenses don’t justify my hopes. In the table there are many clubs who are besides us in quantity of scored goals. Bu they are ahead because we missed 10 goals. I also wanted to note Samir Musayev, it is negative fact that the person who was bombardier couldn’t score a goal in 5 rounds.
-But what about young footballers, can they adapt to the team?
- As you know there are many young footballers in the team this year. There are ones from children football of "Garabagh". I can say they manage to adapt to the team.
- You expect from a match with "Khazar-L". What can you say about the match?
- "Khazar L" is a team with strong personnel. There are footballers with names there. We will go out to the ground for the victory as in other matches and will do our best to be the winner.
