â€œOne should be able to lose, as well as to winâ€, Neftchi head coach Gurban Gurbanov told APA-Sport.
The trainer noted that they donâ€™t lose spirit after the defeat in national cup.
â€œThe cup has its strict rules and we are to obey them. Each encounter ended in draw but MKT-Araz passed to qualify for final stage as it scored goal in visit match. We are not pessimistic for he didnâ€™t manage it. It is important that my team fights till the end. We had many shots on goal in the match but we couldnâ€™t realise themâ€, he said.
Gurbanov stated that he had discussion with club leadership after the game.
â€œThey didnâ€™t consider the defeat a serious problem. We have already left the cup. We should forget this and focus on rest encounters in national championship. I hope this failure will not have psychological affect on the teamâ€, he said. /APA-Sport/
