The XXIV round of the Misli Premier League, which began with snowy and frosty weather, did not bring success to "Sumgayit".
Offsideplus.az reports that Sumgayit faced the same fate as they had lost on sunny days.
The game against "Neftchi" in Baku was of a principled ones for the coaching staff of "Sumgayit". The principled nature was that the representative of "Youth City", who had almost forgotten when he had won the last time, was nervous. It was necessary to get out of the "black streak". Pay attention to the words of the head coach of Sumgayit, Vagif Javadov, half-jokingly and half-seriously, at the press conference held last week after losing to "Zira" with a score of 0:3 on their home field: "It seems that some people prayed that "Sumgayit" would not score. From here I convey my "greetings" to them as well".
Let's put the witchcraft aside. This is a very complicated issue. Let's get back to the facts.
The second point was related to the head coach factor. Samir Abbasov, who currently manages "Neftchi", worked in "Sumgayit" twice. Vagif Javadov took over the team from Samir Abbasov. It is no coincidence that V. Javadov criticized his predecessor several times, albeit covertly, and voiced the opinion that "When I took over the team, it was on the decline."
Of course, everyone in "Sumgayit" was burning with the desire to win. But in this life, not everything is as you want.
Today, it became difficult to break the spell at "Neftchi Arena". Neither the red ball nor the red painted lines came to the aid of "Sumgayit". The team left the field without a win for the 9th time in a row. 8 of these were in the Misli Premier League, and 1 in the country's cup. The number of consecutive defeats reached 3.
The problem is that "Sumgayit" has also failed to score goals. Vagif Javadov's team has failed to find the back of the net in 9 games in a row. The last time Sumgayit scored was on December 8 last year against "Neftchi" (2:0).
"Sumgayit" had a chance to stand out today. The coaching staff even threw Ronaldo into the attack as a last hope in the 86th minute of the match. Yes, Ronaldo. Don't be surprised! Ronaldo really plays in the Azerbaijani championship. "Sumgayit" officials, as they say, "stole his heart" a month ago and brought him to Azerbaijan. However, this is neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Luis Nazario da Lima Ronaldo... This is Ronaldo Vazquez, one of the most modest footballers in the world. He was born in the Dominican Republic. He is significantly different from his peers in both his physical characteristics and his scoring ability.
Ronaldo, who Vagif Javadov gave a chance to with the thoughts "maybe this time it will be won, the spell will be broken", scored 5 minutes after entering the field. The goal was scored against the "Sumgayit" goal...
I look at the whims of nature... I can't help but think about the fans of "Sumgayit"... The devoted football fans of this beautiful city can dress warmly in the snowy and frosty weather and protect themselves from the cold. So, who will warm their hearts? Ronaldo?
