"I congratulate my players. It was a very important victory. I also said yesterday that the opponent could create tension for us on this field at any moment. We witnessed this today."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Qurban Gurbanov, head coach of "Qarabag", after the game against "Shelbourne" within the framework of the first matches of the II qualifying round of the Champions League.
The experienced specialist commented on the big away win at the post-match press conference: "Despite winning with a score of 3:0, we must forget about it and prepare more seriously for the return match. A small number of our fans came. I thank each of them for supporting us."
The head coach said that they will prepare for the return match with the same seriousness: "I definitely don't think that the fate of the pair has been decided. "Shelbourne" is a team that doesn't like to lose, knows what it's doing on the field. Maybe they were performing at a pace that didn't suit us. But our defenders did not give the opponent's forwards a chance. We need to be more careful in the match in Baku than today. This was our first game of the current season. I believe we will be better in the upcoming matches."
It should be noted that the return match between the teams will be held on June 30 in Baku.
