"It will be a difficult game."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Bakhtiyar Musayev, the head of the Scouting Department of the Technical Department of AFFA, and veteran football player, in his statement to Offsideplus.az.
The veteran football player, who once wore the uniform of "Qarabag", shared his thoughts on the game that the Azerbaijani champion will play against "Benfica" in the first round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League: "First of all, I thank "Qarabag" for giving us the excitement of the Champions League. It is a very difficult away game. We know that even top teams suffer in home games with the "Benfica" team. It is a well-established club. I hope that "Qarabag" will fight worthy today and make us happy with their beautiful game. Because recently we have been watching our team's brilliant performance even on the opponent's field."
The expert also spoke about the concern of "Qarabag" fans about the striker transfer: "The team has been looking for a striker for a long time. As Gurban muallim said, they wanted a worthy player. We know that "Qarabag" never makes a transfer for the sake of transfer. This time, they could not attract the striker they wanted. I think that Gurban muallim also has a "B" plan. Probably, he will use some tactical move as a way out. It is a well-known fact that when there is strong competition in the team, the coach's job becomes easier.
On the other hand, Nariman's absence will also create difficulties in this game. He performed well in the meeting with "Ferentsvaros". I hope that a solution will be found to the striker transfer deficit. We can only wish success. I expect a decent, brilliant game from our team."
It should be noted that the "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match will start today at 23:00 Baku time at the "Estadio da Luz" stadium in Lisbon.
