As we reported, "Araz-Nakhchivan" visited "Omonia" in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Our representative, who lost the first match with a score of 0:4, had to stop fighting in the tournament after losing the return match with a score of 0:5.
Sport24.az reports that Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan", said the following at the press conference held after the game:
"Every European Cup season and game is useful for the participating teams. "Araz-Nakhchivan" is a new team in this competition. Of course, if we draw conclusions from the defeats, it will be useful for the future. We lost both games. We congratulate the opponent. They are an experienced and stronger team than us. They deservedly won.
Some changes were made in the defense line in the second half. However, I wouldn't attribute the defeat in both games to Igor Ribeiro's absence. We made more mistakes as a team. The opponent in front of us was also more experienced and of higher quality for the two games. Igor is no longer our player, we have no thoughts or plans about him. We used this system in the training camp and we are used to both systems. We need to be more solid as a team."
