"Sabah" finished the championship with a different coach, and prepared for the European Cups with a different coach. Therefore, the new coach had little time." Aghasalim Mirjavadov said this in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on the return match of the first qualifying round of the Europa League, which the Baku representative will play against "Celje" in Slovenia today:
"In the first game, "Sabah" was active until the 60th minute. After 60 minutes, the team got tired. It is difficult to change the physical condition in the past week. "Celje" was not superior to our representative. Yes, they had a style of play, it was felt that they had a settled squad. "Sabah" can only achieve a successful result through desire. The most important thing is to avoid mistakes. In the goals scored against us, the defenders were remembered for their gross errors. There is a case when the opponent forces you, and there is a case when you do not properly cover the player yourself, leaving gaps. Currently, "Sabah" has players who will use counterattacks. There is no need to rush. You need to play with the ball a lot. It is necessary to enrage the opponent so that they make mistakes."
It should be noted that the "Celje" - "Sabah" match will start today at 22:00 Baku time. In the first match in Azerbaijan, the guests celebrated the victory - 3:2.
