PRESS CONFERENCE

The thoughts of the two head coaches

Tamás Pető and Samir Abasov assessed the Fehérvár FC - Sumqayit FK Conference League qualifier.

Tamás Pető:

"I am very happy to go through, as I expected, it was a very difficult match. Our opponents are a physical and strong team. I could feel the fatigue in my team and that's why we played with a lot of mistakes. We are short of players, we tried to rotate and freshen up the team, fortunately we have players we can use in several positions. The first leg was decisive, we got an advantage in Azerbaijan that we could defend at home. Gergő Ominger is a talented young man, I am very sorry about his injury and wish him a speedy recovery."

Samir Abasov:

"I thank my players for this match. We fought hard, but unfortunately we couldn't win, so the European trip is over for us. We had many absentees due to injuries and suspensions, but we didn't focus on that, we tried to motivate the players. There were a lot of people cheering for us in our city, in Sumqayit and all over Azerbaijan, I think we rewarded their support by playing good matches. The season starts for us this weekend, now we have to focus on that."
