Filip Ozobic, the midfielder for Neftchi, gave an interview to Futbolxeber.az discussing the team's recent victory and their upcoming match against Qarabag.
- What did you think of the 2-1 win over Zira?
- We knew it would be a tough match, and it turned out to be just that. We fought for 90 minutes and, in the end, we won, which makes us very happy.
- What are your thoughts on the dramatic finish of the match?
- We scored late, and honestly, we didn't expect the opponent to equalize. But we didn't lose hope. We managed to score the second goal and secure the win.
- Did you think you might lose the 3 points after the opponent equalized? Did you still believe in a win?
- We knew time was running out, but we kept fighting until the end. Thank God, we achieved what we wanted.
- After three consecutive wins, would you say Neftchi is back to form?
- Yes, we've won the last three matches, but we can't settle for that. There are areas we need to improve. We need to keep working on those and continue to get better.
- With Qarabag coming up, do you think you can continue your winning streak?
- Qarabag is a strong team with a good squad. We'll be playing at home, and with the support of our fans, we want to beat Qarabag.
- Can the dramatic victory against Zira provide extra motivation and act as a call to action for the fans ahead of the Qarabag game?
- Every victory benefits us. Our fans support us in every match. I believe we'll have even stronger support in the Qarabag game.
- Qarabag isn't in ideal form at the moment. Do you consider that an advantage for Neftchi?
- I don't want to comment on the opponent's form. Every game is different. We're only focused on our performance. Our goal is to win.
