Neftech head coach Laurenciu Reghakampf and team captain Emin Mahmudov shared expectations before tomorrow’s response game of the 2nd qualification round of the conferences with Cyprus Aris. Recall that in the first game, Cypriots won with a score of 2: 0.
“I said before the first game that it would not be easily, – says the Romanian specialist.” Now we know the opponent better than a week ago. In the first half of that game, “Arisa” had a chance when they fell into the post. And we had a moment in the first half. There was also a penalty in our favor, but the judge did not appoint him. In addition, there was an episode when a player of rivals had to get a second yellow card and leave the field.
I believe in my team. I believe that we will show a good game and achieve the desired result. In the first game we lost. Analyzed this match. Tomorrow we have the only goal – to go out and show that the first game was an accident. We treat Arisa with great respect. But tomorrow we will do everything to change the course of the confrontation. We will try to win for us and our fans.
I’m not here to speak against “Arisa”. I am here to only express my opinion. I want to send a message to the Neftech fans that tomorrow we will fight to the end. We try to build a team. I have to give a signal to my players, and they must accept it tomorrow. We have nothing to lose.
In the second half of the first game, we fell asleep on the field. We missed two goals. To be honest, they had to miss the third. If the score was 0: 3, then it would be difficult for us to recoup. I try to explain everything to the players correctly. Tomorrow our task is to play well and achieve a result.
I can’t say now that tomorrow we will score five goals. But we will do everything to achieve the account we need.
starting lineup? Of course, I decided on the starting lineup. Tomorrow you will see everything. In advance, I can’t say who will enter the field from the first minutes. I am sure that everyone who comes out in the start will enter the field with a different mood tomorrow than a week ago. I hope tomorrow together with our fans we will celebrate the victory.
Can I promise that tomorrow we will win and go further? Speak easy. And promises to give too. But restraining them is more difficult. I am not one of those who make empty promises. Tomorrow we will do everything to win. I can say about this with confidence.
Our transfers? Of course, all our transfers were agreed with the leadership, management … I think we made the right choice. And these players will benefit Neftchi.
Emin Makhmudov said the following:
“should play tomorrow with a great desire than in the first game. To go further, you need to play better compared to the match of week ago.
We need to win. It’s good that Aris did not score to us at the end of the first match. With 0: 2 you can recoup. We will try to do this.
We have new players. We gradually recognize each other. New players need to be worn out. But now we need a result in the upcoming match. Everyone understands what this game means for the team. The mood is prohibitive. We want to win tomorrow. “
