"We played against a dynamic and fast team".
Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by Qurban Gurbanov, the head coach of "Karabakh", at a press conference after the game against "Athletic" in the third round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
"The game went well. At least, we didn't want to lose. We had chances throughout the match. My players fought until the end. We witnessed the words we said at the press conference before the game yesterday. We played against a dynamic and fast team. They maintained a fast pace until the end. It was not easy for our players.
When "Athletic" was leading 2:1, we took more risks and started to leave gaps in defense. As a result, we saw the third goal in our goal. Gradually, the opponents become more difficult and the responsibility increases in the main stage," Gurbanov said.
It should be noted that the "Athletic" - "Karabakh" match ended with a 3:1 victory for the home team.
