"Qarabag" has been preparing specifically for the Champions League this season. Due to the few rivals in the domestic championship, they have focused their main strength on European cups.
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the former Italian head coach of the Azerbaijani national team, Gianni De Biasi, in an interview with his country's press regarding the match between "Napoli" and "Qarabag" in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
The expert said that Qurban Qurbanov's team is stronger than in previous years: "This process is not unexpected for me. Because their main goal this season is precisely the Champions League. The tournament is of particular importance in terms of prestige, financial income, and experience. "Qarabag" has a budget advantage and therefore brings quality legionnaires to its squad. Although these players are not world-class, they can pose a serious threat to opponents when they play with high motivation."
He called the Aghdam representative the most hegemonic club in Azerbaijan: "It can even be said that they have two separate squads: one plays in the national championship, and the other plays in European Cup matches. Since the audience of the Azerbaijan Premier League is not wide enough, the main source of income for the clubs is also the games in European cups."
It should be noted that the "Napoli" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held on November 25 at the "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium, will start at 23:59 Baku time.
