After the meeting, the head coach of Neftcha Roman Hryhorchuk commented on the team’s defeat:
– The most difficult and awkward thing is that we cannot please them. I’m going through it hard. But I am sure that this will happen. They deserve it.
– The plan was such that we understood that the best thing we can do is play in attack. We hoped and wanted to control the ball more. It didn’t work out as much as we wanted. This is not only our fault, but also the greater strength of the opponent. They wanted to press forward more than to act in positional defense. Especially in a game with such an opponent.
– Build a team that will play football. Now it’s better to keep quiet, then it will be easier to speak when we start showing the football we need. And he will be.
– Ramil Sheydaev is our captain since yesterday. This is my decision.
– There is not enough time. I’d rather be silent. People look at this situation in different ways. I accept all criticism directed at me. I am calm, I believe in every player. You will see a very good Neftchi.
– It would be very incorrect if I were responsible for management. From myself, I want to say that we communicate with the management. It has high ambitions and, based on communication with them, I come to the conclusion that they understand us and what is required for it, – said Hryhorchuk.
Earlier, Sport.ua reported that Grigorchuk may be fired from the Azerbaijani club. The Ukrainian specialist led Neftchi in the summer of 2024 and so far has never won: 4 draws and 3 defeats.
