"Qarabag" can earn 1 point in the match against "Benfica", which they will play away today in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
This was said by Emin Imamaliyev, the former football player of the Aghdam representative, in his statement to "Report".
The expert emphasized that he believes in the team:
"First of all, I wish "Qarabag" success. It is really a pleasant event that the team representing Azerbaijani football is playing in the main stage for the second time. As for "Benfica", they are a good, serious opponent. Nevertheless, we trust "Qarabag". I sincerely believe that the team can give "Benfica" a headache and return from Portugal with 1 point."
He said that he does not see any major shortcomings in the squad:
"There are new transfers. I think that suitable football players are always selected to play in the team. This does not create difficulties in terms of adaptation. True, time is also needed, but legionnaires can adapt in a short time. In my opinion, this time's legionnaires have also adapted. From the outside, no major shortcomings are visible. Sometimes they exaggerate the striker problem. Nariman Akhundzade is also injured at the moment. Nariman and Musa have had games where, even if they did not distinguish themselves, they created opportunities for their teammates to score. We just have to believe in our own children. I expect "Qarabag" to fight well."
E. Imamaliyev expects "Qarabag" to score at least 10 points in the UEFA Champions League this season:
"I think that "Qarabag" will score at least 10 points in the tournament this season. Although the opponents are difficult. But anything is possible in football. "Qarabag" has experience, they have faced even more difficult opponents. They have shown a decent fight against teams like "Chelsea", "Tottenham".
It should be noted that the "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held today at the "Estadio da Luz" stadium in Lisbon, will start at 23:00 Baku time.
