"It was a very intense game."

The Georgian specialist, who recently took over the team, evaluated his squad’s debut match in the Azerbaijan Basketball League against Absheron. He praised his players for their fighting spirit until the final whistle:
"I will do my utmost to justify this trust. I sincerely thank my players for their determined effort. Both teams had little time to prepare for this match. Despite the limited time for training, we played very well and demonstrated an aggressive game. I hope we will improve further in future games. As practiced in training, our players showed aggression in defense and delivered accurate passes in attack, resulting in a solid performance."
Neftchi defeated Absheron 84:76, moving up to fourth place in Group A with 13 points.
