"Sabah showed real character yesterday."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Elkhan Abdullayev, the head coach of the Azerbaijani U-19 national team, in his statement to AZERTAC while talking about "Sabah" losing to the Slovenian club "Celje" with a score of 6:5 based on the results of two games and stopping the fight.
He stated that the team's lack of experience in European cups affected the course: "Sabah fought well in both games. Unfortunately, 1 goal scored in extra time decided everything. Our representative performs well in all the games they play in European cups. It's just that the lack of sufficient experience in the international arena creates certain problems."
The 55-year-old expert said that there were gaps in the defense of the Baku representative: "The attack did its job well in both games. Unfortunately, this idea cannot be attributed to the defense. Conceding 6 goals in two games shows that there are serious gaps in the defense."
E.Abdullayev also spoke about "Sabah"'s opponent in the II qualifying round of the Conference League, the Moldovan representative "Petrocub": "I have no information about them. But "Sabah" should pass this round. It is too early to talk about future stages now."
It should be noted that "Sabah" will play its first match with the Moldovan club away. The matches of the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League will take place on July 24 and 31.
