Aslan Karimov's statement regarding "Qarabag's" transfers and chances in the Champions League

It was expected that "Qarabag" would bring in a new striker. However, it was not possible to implement this. I have said in many interviews that any transfer has aspects that are not visible to the fans." These words were said by Aslan Karimov in his statement to Sport24.az.

The experienced expert evaluated "Qarabag's" application for participation in the League stage of the Champions League as follows:

"If you reach the league stage of the Champions League, a player who normally costs 10 manats automatically rises to 50-100 manats. Managers know that if you get into the Champions League, you get a certain amount of money. "Qarabag's" finances are not so great that they can buy a player who costs 10 manats for 100 manats. On the other hand, there is also the issue of getting the player's consent. It is very difficult to bring a high-quality player to Azerbaijan. Besides, the family must also support the player. It's not like us abroad. Here, the man has the last word. If he says we're going, his wife agrees and comes. There is a different mentality there. Sometimes the words of their wives are decisive in the decision. There is no point in criticizing "Qarabag" without knowing these things. It would be risky to transfer an expensive player without reaching the league stage. Let's take the game with "Ferencvaros". "Qarabag" did not reach the League stage easily. Aghdam has enough players. The job does not end with just the attack, attention should also be paid to the defense. The Aghdam club reached the League stage thanks to the attackers, not the defenders. In the upcoming games, we will see what Musa and Nariman are capable of. We are able to get a point or points in the matches we will play in Baku."

It should be noted that "Qarabag" will play its first match in the Champions League on September 16 in Portugal against "Benfica".
