FCSB defeated "Qarabakh" in Baku with a score of 3:2 within the framework of the 7th round of the Europa League League stage. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the Romanian team, Elias Xaralambus, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- I am very happy, I am proud of my players. We won an important three points, we played well. We knew it would be very difficult. It really was. We suffered. But we saw the fruits of our labor. Luck is also important in football sometimes. We were a little lucky today. It was difficult to concede a goal in the first minute. "Qarabakh" was pressing a lot. We won after the third goal came.
- Was it difficult for you without Darius Olaru?
- Olaru is a great, good player. He wasn't here today. We have to think about alternatives. We have high-quality players in our team. We have to find solutions. We did it today.
- Were you surprised by anything from "Qarabakh"?
- We saw what we expected. We had researched "Qarabakh". It was a difficult game, we suffered. This is the style of play in Europe, you suffer. "Qarabakh" is a strong team. They also show attacking, strong and tough games in the games with "Ajax", "Lyon", and "Zira". I have great respect for Gurban Gurbanov and the team. "Qarabakh" is a very beautiful team.
