"Qarabag" head coach Qurban Qurbanov commented on the penalties given for the altercation between players in the 26th round match against "Araz-Nakhchivan".

Offsideplus.az reports that the 52-year-old specialist noted that football is a game of struggle and complained about the magnified topic.

"A lot has been written about this issue. I don't want to oppose the referees' decisions. But why did they give it? Before that episode, the opponent's player did the same thing. Such things make you love football and increase aggression. Football is a game of struggle. We have watched so many derbies. Let's see if the protesting players were given red cards there? I don't want to talk much about it because Musa is my son. Why should he be punished? They have made the topic so big."

Qurban Qurbanov gave an example from the Spanish team "Atletico" and the aggressiveness of its head coach Diego Simeone:

They say "Why don't they give red cards to the players of Qarabag". They do. This topic was discussed for a week. What was there there? We need to talk about what is happening in football today. If we look at the tempo, we will see that the game went on for 15 minutes. It was as if we had beaten the players of "Araz-Nakhchivan". This issue was discussed every day on all channels. Kamal Umudlu handled that episode very correctly. Then they should also punish the referees. Such simple things cannot be done. It happened so much that I deliberately did not let my players play. Because the opponents wanted to break their legs. We have respected every decision. But sometimes we have to express our opinions. I had to watch the episodes again because this issue has become so big. They talk as if we are the ones who do everything. Look at "Atletico". Then they should give red cards to Simeone and his team every game."
