"Gurban Gurbanov is my brother. I am familiar with him."
These words were said by Ertuğrul Sağlam, the former head coach of "Kocaelispor".
He stated that he watched the match in the seventh round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League, in which the representative of Aghdam defeated Germany's "Eintracht" with a score of 3:2.
"As a Turk, I was proud of the result. "Qarabag" has been worthily waving the Azerbaijani flag in Europe for years. I call yesterday's game a legend. The players' desire and determination were magnificent. It is incredible to form such a team and successfully fight against big rivals," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
The 56-year-old coach said that he believes that the Azerbaijani champion will also achieve a positive result in the match against Liverpool:
"If the team continues this playing style in England, it will be difficult for the Mersyside representative. Yes, the opponent is strong, but "Qarabag" has also made a name for itself in Europe."
The expert said that he does not want to single out any player in the "Qarabag" squad:
"All the players performed excellently. If I single someone out, I will be violating the rights of others. I believe that the historical victories will continue."
It should be noted that Ertuğrul Sağlam made history as the Turkish champion with Bursaspor in the 2009-2010 season.
