"We expect "Qarabag" to be in the Champions League group stage."
Idman.biz reports that Aghasalim Mirjavadov told Sport24.az these words.
The experienced expert shared his views on the first leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off stage that the Azerbaijani representative will play against Hungary's "Ferencvaros" today: "Qarabag" plays very smart football in Europe. There was a lot of criticism for not buying a striker. But now local players are also playing well. With their game, they deserve to play in the Champions League group stage. We are used to foreign strikers. But I don't think so. There can also be a local forward. I can give Nariman Akhundzade, Musa Gurbanli as examples. A smart head coach will think about the Azerbaijani national team as well as his club. We must not forget this. "Qarabag" has had many legionnaire strikers. The best was Juninho. He got a good offer and left. "Qarabag" plays at the team level. How far has the team come this year without a foreign striker? We must not forget that "Qarabag" has won all matches so far."
Mirjavadov gave the example of "Barcelona" club: "In the good times of the team, the striker did not do much work in the squad. Sometimes they would go out with 6 midfielders. You need two squads to play in Europe. Alternative players are needed. "Qarabag" is also doing this. Today our team must play calmly and intelligently. They must show their game. "Qarabag" should not sit in defense. He can't do it. The team's style of play is completely different. I believe that we will be in the main stage of the Champions League. We must support the team. They play very watchable football. But let's take into account that local players also need to be protected."
It should be noted that the match "Qarabag" - "Ferencvaros" will start today at 20:45. In the first match between the teams in Hungary, the representative of Aghdam won with a score of 3:1.
