Aghasalim Mirjavadov: "Let them come to the derby, so we know they are really interested in football"

"I believe we will see a tense and interesting match."

This was stated to Idman.biz by football coach Aghasalim Mirjavadov.

The experienced specialist shared his views on the "Qarabag" - "Neftchi" match, which will take place in the XXXI round of the Misli Premier League. He said that the teams are not fighting for points in this game: "Qarabag" has already secured the championship. "Neftchi" is not strong enough to fight for fourth place either. They are currently focused on the Azerbaijan Cup. In any case, it is necessary to play the championship normally in order to play the cup normally. As a result, "Qarabag" will be superior. There is no doubt about that. Both clubs will play the Azerbaijan Cup on April 23. Some players may miss this match. But I would like whoever takes the field to show a good game."

Mirjavadov emphasized that the Azerbaijani derby has its own special place: "From 1992 to this day, the "Qarabag" - "Neftchi" game is considered a derby and is tense. Fans, coaches and football players are interested in this match. Development takes place in such games. I expect an interesting fight today as well. The main thing is that the fans come to the stadium. At least five to ten thousand people should come so that we can see that the fans love football."

He said that he supports both teams: "Neftchi" is my home team. I was born there, played there, and worked there. During my time at "Qarabag", we also had many interesting and memorable days. I wish both clubs success. Especially in Europe."

It should be noted that the starting whistle of the "Qarabag" - "Neftchi" match, which will be held today at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, will sound at 20:00.
