"We will look at our squad and try to pick a strong team. We want to win the game, that is the first target."
According to Idman.Biz, this was stated by Newcastle's head coach Eddie Howe at a press conference before the return match of the UEFA Champions League play-off stage against Qarabag.
The specialist said that they prepared well for the meeting.
"A lot depended on the result in the first game against Qarabag, but for me, the most important thing was our performance, behavior and desire. This is the level I want us to get as close to as possible. We had the advantage from the beginning to the end of the match. I think we played our highest level game of this season against Qarabag."
Our initial goal was to reach the round of 16. Then anything can happen when we reach that stage.
We have to win tomorrow's game. We are ready for tomorrow's match," Howe said.
The Newcastle – Qarabag game will start at 00:00 on the night of February 24-25 in England. In the first match in Baku, the guests were 6:1 ahead.
