"We will play against the team that won both games in the previous round. Everyone thought FCSB would win. But the opposite happened. "Shkëndija" won both matches."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Qarabag", Gurban Gurbanov, in his statement to "CBC Sport".
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on the first match of the third qualifying round against "Shkëndija" in North Macedonia:
"First of all, we improved our preparation. We were able to get the players in shape. We will play against a more enthusiastic and motivated team. In any case, we must be very careful. The opponent is a team with character. We will get to know them better after the first game. We will try to show a good game.
He said that the new transfer Joni Montiel is not fully ready yet: "It will take two weeks or 20 days".
It should be noted that the "Shkëndija" - "Qarabag" match will be held on August 5.
