"Like Celje, we also have our weaknesses and strengths. The opponent is the team that won the Slovenian Cup last season. And the year before that, they were champions. This is no small achievement." Aslan Kerimov said this in his statement to Sport24.az.
Speaking about Celje, Sabah's opponent in the Europa League, the expert noted the strengths of the Slovenian representative:
"Celje" can win titles every season. The squad is mostly made up of local players. The Slovenians are a team that can play beautiful football and achieve results. The Spanish specialist has been at the helm of "Celje" since 2023. Then he went to France. Since things didn't go well there, he returned to "Celje" this season. If a team's head coach is Spanish, it means that the collective's game philosophy is based on controlling the ball more."
Kerimov emphasized that Sabah's current lack of a head coach is a negative aspect for our representative: "
"In the current situation, it is not a good thing that Sabah parted ways with Vasili Berezutski. Who will manage the team in the technical zone in the match against Celje? It is very difficult to make big changes in a short time. But I would also like to emphasize that Sabah's potential allows them to overcome Celje."
It should be noted that Sabah will play its first match at home on July 10, and the return match will be played away on July 17.
