"If "Qarabag" can collect 3-4 points in 8 matches, we can consider this result satisfactory."
Idman.biz reports that Arif Asadov, who works as an instructor at the UEFA coaching courses held in Baku, said this in his statement to AZERTAC while talking about the opponents that "Qarabag" will face in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
He stated that facing prestigious clubs such as "Chelsea", "Liverpool" and "Napoli" will help the Aghdam representative grow: "This in itself is a great success. "Qarabag" has reached its goal and qualified for the main stage. This is a historic result. There are no weak opponents in the Champions League. All teams are the strongest in their countries, and the difference in level is obvious. For this reason, "Qarabag" will go to the games without any pressure, because the psychological tension is over and the team will finally be able to play more freely."
According to the expert, Gurban Gurbanov's students have a better chance of winning points in home games: "Qarabag" has a high probability of achieving results in matches against "Chelsea", "Ajax", "Eintracht" and "Copenhagen". The team has faced these opponents before. He even surpassed the Danish representative. In other words, it is possible to get points from each of these teams."
Asadov said that away games will be more difficult: "It doesn't seem realistic to win points at "Liverpool"'s stadium. It is almost impossible. "Benfica" is also very strong at home, which it proved once again in the match with "Fenerbahce". But there are certain hopes for the game with "Athletic". "Qarabag" once took points from "Atletico" in Madrid, which creates additional confidence. "Napoli" is a strong opponent and it will be difficult there."
He noted that "Qarabag"'s entry into the group stage of the Champions League is a great success in itself: "With this result, the team greatly pleased the Azerbaijani people, the football community and the entire "Qarabag" community. Head coach Gurban Gurbanov and the technical staff also deserve special congratulations. We thank them for giving us this holiday."
It should be noted that the first round of matches in the main round of the UEFA Champions League will be held on September 16-18. The play-off stage will start on February 17-18. The final match will be held on May 30 in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
