Azeri coach calls Sokolov's ban a tragedy

He is going to watch test matches of Karabakh, Inter and Neftchi, he told APA.

"I'll watch matches Karabakh-Sivasspor and Inter-Spartak," he said.

The coach also took a stance on full-back Sergey Sokolov's disqualification set at 18 months by the UEFA Discipline Committee.

"Sokolov's punishment is a tragedy. The doctors are guilty in his disqualification," he said.

As for the failure of the agreement to delay the match with Poland in March 24, he said it is not a problem to play with two teams-Poland and Finland within 4 days. "We were supposed to play though," he said.
