"I am very happy and appreciate that the best football player of the "Qarabag" - "Copenhagen" game was first selected from my team, and also an Azerbaijani from my team."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Qurban Gurbanov, the head coach of "Qarabag", at the press conference held after the match with "Copenhagen" (2:0).
It should be noted that Elvin Jafarquliyev won the title of the best football player of the "Qarabag" - "Copenhagen" match held in the II round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
"Elvin is not a comfortable football player at all. Because there have been many times when he played at a much lower level than his sports form. Then he rose, fell, and rose again. That is, he could not discover stability. In recent games, he is probably getting serious himself, and I am treating him more seriously. Let me put it this way, you can't rely on him," said Gurban Gurbanov.
The head coach blamed Elvin for not being serious and responsible enough: "We should all be a little careful. At any moment, we can all use less than our abilities and capabilities. But perhaps Elvin needs a few years to realize this responsibility. That is, maybe he needs a few years to be more serious, to be bigger, to behave better on the field. But if we wait a few years, it will not be good for us at all. In any case, we are trying to keep him. I say with confidence that this is not Elvin's full potential yet. If he is more serious, thinks a lot about football, his successes will be greater."
It should be reminded that the "Qarabag" - "Copenhagen" game within the II round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League ended with a 2:0 victory for the Aghdam club. The next game of Aghdam residents with "Athletic" will be held on October 22 at the opponent's field.
