Former London "Arsenal" and Russian national team striker Andrey Arshavin can probably be called the best expert who knows how and how many goals can be scored against the English club "Liverpool" at "Anfield".
Many still remember his legendary poker (4:4) against the "Merseysiders" in the 33rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) on April 21, 2009. Arshavin became the first visiting football player in EPL history to score four goals against "Liverpool" at "Anfield". Considering that today Aghdam's "Qarabag" club is waiting for an away game against "Liverpool" in the eighth round of the Champions League main stage, it was logical to ask Arshavin what needs to be done to score a goal in the upcoming match.
In an exclusive statement with Idman.Biz, the author of the legendary poker scored against "Liverpool" shared his expectations for the upcoming game and talked about how "Qarabag" should perform in England.
"Qarabag's" current performance in the Champions League is undoubtedly a great success for both the club and Azerbaijani football in general. I admit that for me, probably like many others, such a game of your team was a surprise," said Arshavin.
The former "Arsenal" football player did not rule out the performance of super football players in the Aghdam club.
"To be honest, I don't specifically watch Qarabag's games. I only watched the last 15 minutes of the game with Eintracht, in which your team won a dramatic victory. I know that mostly legionnaires, Brazilians play. On the other hand, it is possible that super football players have gathered so that Qarabag can reach the top eight of the Champions League. I just don't follow the team closely, except for its name, I only get information when I see news about the Aghdam club. After all, it made a lot of noise last year as well," Arshavin noted.
It should be noted that the Russian football player, who watched the end of the game with Eintracht (3:2), probably saw that the winning goal against the German club was scored by Azerbaijani defender Bahlul Mustafazade.
The author of the poker scored against "Liverpool" also revealed what Gurban Gurbanov's team should do to score a goal at "Anfield".
"(laughs) "Qarabag" just needs to play its game. If luck and fortune are on their side, it is possible to score a goal. Especially considering that "Liverpool" is currently going through an unstable period. Moreover, I think that "Qarabag" will definitely score a goal. The only question is whether these points will be enough to win," Arshavin emphasized.
Let's add that the game between "Liverpool" and "Qarabag" in the eighth round of the Champions League main stage will be held today at "Anfield" stadium and will start at 23:59 Baku time. The "Merseysiders" are in fourth place in the tournament table with 15 points, and the Aghdam representative is in 18th place with 10 points.
