The head coach of "Qarabağ", Gurban Gurbanov, shared his thoughts before the match against "Ferencváros" tomorrow in the play-off stage of the Champions League. Sport24.az reports that the specialist said the following about the match:
– It's nice to be here again. We will have an important game against a good team. It's nice to play against such an opponent. We will face a very motivated team. Their head coaches and players are eager to reach the League stage. We must try to play correctly and be motivated. I believe that the fans will be satisfied with the game. We want to achieve a good result with a good game.
– What has changed in the teams since the previous matches?
– Football is changing. There are changes in both teams. After the first game, we will know each other better. We must be able to fight to the end in tomorrow's match.
– What style of play will you play tomorrow?
– "Ferencváros" can launch fast attacks. They are a more physical, dynamic team. Their head coaches demand both fast play and struggle. We will try to have more possession of the ball. "Ferencváros"'s style of play is such that they try not to allow the opponent to have possession. We have played against such opponents. Let's admit that this team is more skilled and capable.
– You have been leading the team for 17 years. How do you do it?
– They just don't change me. That's why I've been here for 17 years.
– What will be your primary goal in tomorrow's game?
– I read Robbie Keane's statement. He says that our attacking line is good and at the same time we should not concede goals. If you want to win in such tournaments, it is important not to concede a goal in the first game. Nevertheless, we must be creative to be more attractive and produce results. Our primary goal is to be creative, to score against the opponent. It would be better if we don't concede a goal. But we want to be able to score in every game. Fans love games with goals. We will try to do our best both here and in Baku to get a result.
– Romao and Kadi played in "Ferencváros". Did you get information about this team from them?
– No, I don't like such things. It's unethical. A football player can be loyal to his former club. Therefore, I don't want to put the players in such a situation. We analyzed the opponent and collected information ourselves.
– Do you have time to rest between the two games?
– We have a match in the Premier League.
