Former Galatasaray coach: "Qarabag" proved what they are capable of in the Champions League

"After Galatasaray's game with Union, I watched the Napoli - Qarabag match."

These words were said by Hamza Hamzaoğlu, the former head coach of Galatasaray.

According to the well-known Turkish expert, the Azerbaijani representative put up a worthy fight despite the defeat.

"There were also good scoring opportunities, unfortunately, they did not end with a logical conclusion. "Napoli" won a little thanks to their experience. Despite the result, I congratulate "Qarabag". It is not easy to get this far in the Champions League. I really like Gurban Gurbanov's work. His work is amazing. We love "Qarabag"," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.

He also assessed "Qarabag's" chances in the league stage: "There are three difficult games ahead. But "Qarabag" proved what they are capable of in the Champions League. I think the team's current problem is with the midfield. Marko Jankovic is a very good football player. I know him from his performance for the Serbian representative Partizan. However, some changes are needed to further strengthen the midfield. Because the team sometimes lags in this zone."

The coach, who once worked as an assistant coach in the Turkish national team, said that he has not received an offer from Azerbaijan so far: "If there was an offer, I would definitely come. Azerbaijan is also our homeland."

It should be noted that Hamza Hamzaoğlu won the Turkish championship, the national cup and the Super Cup for the team during his time at Galatasaray.

Let us remind you that the match "Napoli" - "Qarabag" ended with a 2:0 victory for the home team.
