“It was the first official match of the season. Naturally, our opponent is also one of the ambitious teams.”
According to Idman.biz, these words were spoken by Shamakhi player Rufat Abbasov in an interview with Sport24.az.
The wing-back shared his impressions of the first round of the Misli Premier League, in which they drew 1-1 with Neftchi: “Earning a point away from home is a successful result. After going 1-0 down, we could have increased the score, but it didn’t happen. In the second half, the opponent also had chances to take the lead. I think the draw should be considered a good result for us.”
Abbasov added that every game will feel like a final for Shamakhi: “Not only against Neftchi, but we stay motivated against any opponent.”
The player also spoke about the regional club’s goals for the current season: “Our main objective is to stay in the Premier League and strengthen our position. But we will give our best in every match. We aim to compete strongly against any opponent and will do our utmost in all games.”
