"It is gratifying that "Qarabagh" is participating in a major tournament."
According to "Report", this was said by the head coach of "Qarabagh" Gurban Gurbanov at a press conference.
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on the II round match of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League against the Danish representative "Copenhagen" in Baku: "We approach this match responsibly. We will play against a good team. "Copenhagen" is a serious opponent."
The head coach emphasized that he is happy that "Qarabagh" is in the focus of European football: "Victory makes our football even more loved. It gives confidence to the players. Investing in this area encourages people. Football is the king of sports. We have a small share in the recognition of our country. In this case, the responsibility increases even more. Our fans come to the matches with hope. We also understand this. If a football player is excited, responsibility lies behind it. Sport is such a thing that when you get into the work, fear and excitement disappear. It is necessary to understand this and go to the field. It is a problem to have excitement for 90 minutes. We don't have that."
He said that the players feel better at the Republican stadium: "We could hold our games at the Baku Olympic Stadium. But the arena is not ready. In any case, the field factor plays a role. Currently, the players feel comfortable here. If it were at the Baku Olympic Stadium, we would still be responsible."
It should be noted that the "Qarabagh" - "Copenhagen" match will start on October 1 at 20:45 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.
