"When I played in Azerbaijan, a lot of money was invested in football. Players were brought from Brazil. At that time, they were trying to change the face of football a little. There were several Romanian football players in Azerbaijan. A lot of money was also given." Sport24.az reports that this was stated by Romanian football player Stelian Stancu, who played for "Khazar Lankaran" in the 2010/2011 season, in an interview with local "PRO TV".
The 43-year-old former midfielder spoke about "Qarabagh", FCSB's opponent in the Europa League:
"Qarabagh" was not among the best teams at that time. It was somewhere in 5th-6th places. Several good teams have broken up. Now only "Neftchi" remains.
"The opponent fought better in European Cups last year. It has weakened a little this year. But the match will not be easy for FCSB. But it is also possible to win".
It should be noted that the "Qarabagh" - FCSB game, which will be held today at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, will start at 21:45.
