"It was a good game. We played against a very good team made up of quality players, with its own unique style of play. True, our team was not in optimal condition. But we had good preparation." Sport24.az reports that this was stated by Gurban Gurbanov, head coach of "Qarabağ", in his statement after the test match with "Salzburg" (1:2).
The experienced specialist also assessed the team's preparation in Austria:
"It was our last game in the training camp. The players came to this match loaded. I was satisfied with both the last meeting and the overall preparation. The condition of the team is normal. We need a little time to reach optimal athletic form. We will feel this from game to game in the future. Overall, every player has better potential today. After a few official games, they will gain even more athletic form. After that, they will complement each other better on the field."
