Araz-Nakhchivan president Ceyhun Sultanov assessed the team’s performance in the first half of the Misli Premier League season and spoke about its defensive problems.
“There were matches in the first half of the season that we could have won. We simply failed to hold on to our advantage. We finished the first half without a win because of our own mistakes. We are conceding very simple goals,” Sultanov said.
The club president said lapses in concentration in defense were giving opponents chances to score. “If we are scoring goals but also conceding them, then we have a problem in defense. We need to address it and work on the mistakes we are making,” he said.
Sultanov also stressed that the team had a large number of injured players. Five or six players are currently injured. He said this creates difficulties for a team like Araz-Nakhchivan. The president said improving the team’s defensive play and correcting its mistakes were the coaching staff’s responsibility.
Araz-Nakhchivan sit 12th and last in the standings with four points after 11 rounds.
