"We won a very important victory. We were playing against a team with fast counter-attacks. Despite the fatigue, the players were able to maintain the discipline of the game until the end."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the head coach of "Qarabag" Gurban Gurbanov, who defeated "Sabail" with a score of 3:1 in the 13th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
The experienced specialist answered the question about standard situations: "There are teams that work only on corner kicks. But we mostly work on other details that we need. However, this does not mean that we give thoughtless passes during corner kicks. The opponent must also be taken into account. I wouldn't say that we want to base our results solely on that. We are working on this as we spend time on other elements. It is possible that I have few players who are able to take full advantage of standard situations. For this, you see, there are special players who use it and score important goals. There were also games where we won by scoring from standard situations and corner kicks."
Gurban Gurbanov noted that the national break had a big impact on football. He said that this factor affects the work of the clubs: "The national break is a big blow to football. There have been many times that my most expensive player went to the training camp, but came back injured. All Europe, all big clubs complain about it. Football players get in good form, then there is a break, they go to the national team and come back tired, and those who are here also get away from their sports shape. Maybe something can be changed. UEFA and FIFA should think about it. You sign an annual contract with a football player. But due to some careless step, the football player is injured. After six months, you bring him back to sports form, but the half-year contract is already gone. It's a big blow. Especially for clubs like ours. Therefore, this moment is a big problem not only for us, but for all clubs around the world. I don't know if there will be any change in the future."
