The current squad of the English club "Chelsea" is completely different compared to the team that "Qarabagh" faced 8 years ago.
Afran Ismayilov, a former football player of "Qarabagh", shared his thoughts on the match that "Qarabagh" will play against the London representative in the IV round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League:
"In 2017, we qualified for the group stage of this tournament, and I saw "Chelsea" at that time. Although I didn't play, I was on the match application. The English Premier League cannot be compared with the Italian, Spanish, German and French championships. The English championship is very high-quality, dynamic, fast, athletic. Sometimes goals are scored at the end of matches, after the 80th minute. Our representative's opponent, "Chelsea", is also the winner of the last Club World Cup. In the period when we played, Eden Hazard and Willian had very good times. It can be said that they solved 50-60 percent of the fate of those matches," he said in a statement to "Report".
A. Ismayilov said that there are still technical players in "Chelsea":
"The current squad is completely different compared to the previous one. The London representative has quality football players. There are enough reserve forces. But we will play in front of our native fans. "Qarabagh" is also achieving good results in Europe. Hopes are high for the team. They qualified for the main stage of the Champions League, where they defeated clubs such as Benfica and Copenhagen. Everyone expects a lot from "Qarabagh". There are many questions in the match against "Chelsea". Many do not believe that we will win. But any result can be recorded in football."
He emphasized that "Qarabagh" is an experienced team:
"Head coach Gurban Gurbanov has enough experience. I believe he has analyzed the opponent well. The team must play compactly. The goalkeeper will also have a big burden in this match. We will also have chances. If we can make the most of them, I believe we can surprise you. A draw will be equal to a victory for us. Our fans will also provide great support. "Qarabagh" has really come to a place that seems like a miracle. The team plays with "Imishli" and then with "Chelsea". The opponent comes to Baku after the match with "Tottenham". The difference is huge."
It should be noted that the "Qarabagh" - "Chelsea" match will start on November 5 at 21:45 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.
