Interview of Sabah defender John Irazabal to Sportal.az
- Sabah managed to beat Shamakhi in the last round. How did the match go for you? Did everything go as you wanted?
- I think it was a good match. But considering the goal we conceded, we need to be more careful. These moments can be decisive. Therefore, we need to be more careful.
- Sabah could not beat Shamakhi for 2 years. You almost broke this spell. Does this give you additional motivation?
- You know, especially on the field of Shamakhi it was noticeable that we did not play well. This was our main problem. Of course, we are happy that we won. It is always good to win.
- Your team is currently in 5th place, and the team that is in 4th place They are only 5 points behind Turan Tovuz. In general, how do you see Sabah's chances of finishing the season in 4th place?
- I think Turan Tovuz will collect the points they need to take 4th place. But despite this, we want to win all the matches that await us. We will go out on the field to win. I hope everything will go well.
- The end of the season is a very tough schedule for Sabah. We will meet Zira, Neftchi and Qarabag in the final of the domestic cup. Is the team mentally and physically ready for these three matches?
- For me, all matches are always interesting matches. Everyone should be motivated, especially to win the cup. Of course, we will go out to win both the championship and the cup matches.
- The goal in the match against Zira will probably be to win? They have already secured their place in 2nd place...
- Yes, winning this match is our main goal as well. We are already preparing for our next match. We want to win every match we play. Zira also had a very good season. The match against them will not be easy. The match Sabah - Qarabag is the one everyone is waiting for the most.
- How do you assess your chances of winning the national cup? How do you think you can beat Qarabag?
- Anything can happen in one match. The opponent likes to play with many players between the lines. Therefore, it will be very important to be compact and careful to close these passing lines. Having the ball will help us a lot. Because Qarabag are stronger with the ball. And we will try to achieve our goal by showing the match we want.
