Gurban Gurbanov, the head coach of "Qarabag," has evaluated the draw for the "play-off" stage of the UEFA Champions League held today.
Apasport.az reports that the experienced specialist shared his thoughts on "Newcastle," who will face "Qarabag":
"I wish the draw to be beneficial and successful for our team and fans. After each stage, we face more serious opponents. "Newcastle" drew 1:1 with PSG in the last round of the league stage. Therefore, it can be said that the strengths of both teams are approximately the same.
Playing against a Premier League club always requires extra strength. It is a very serious opponent. We will try to show a good game, to prepare well. Because the English Premier League is the strongest championship in the world. There is not much difference between the teams here.
Every team can beat each other. It is possible to see 3-4 goals in each match. "Newcastle" is a serious opponent. We will try to prepare well for the game, to get to know the opponent better. But "Newcastle" is not weaker than any of the other opponents in this stage, it has its own unique playing style and is a very fast-paced team."
