"Tomorrow's game will be very difficult. "Qarabagh" is a very strong and experienced team. We will do our best tomorrow. We will try to score a goal. We lost the first game. We have nothing to lose."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Shkendija", Jeton Beqiri, said this at the press conference held before the return match with "Qarabagh" in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
- You lost to "Qarabagh" in the first game. But the score could have been 4:0, 5:0. In which parts, episodes did you make mistakes that made you so weak? Did you choose the right tactics in the game against "Qarabagh"?
- I agree. We had problems in the first game. Especially the physical problem. We made an accidental mistake in the goal, it was a penalty. We also had opportunities.
- Can we say that the team played more carefully against "Qarabagh", so this result was recorded? If you played more bravely, could a different result have been recorded? You played differently against FCSB...
- We tried to do our best. Especially in the first half, "Qarabagh" played better. We felt that we were lagging behind physically. But in the second half, we played better. We also had goal chances. I agree that this time we will play more aggressively and more offensively. Because we have nothing to lose.
- One of the best football players in the history of "Qarabagh" is Muarem Muarem. Have you ever talked to him about your opponent?
- Yes, I know him well. He is our colleague now. The situation is such that "Qarabagh" watches our games, and we can easily watch their games. I didn't contact him out of respect. Because I know that Muarem has a good relationship with Gurban Gurbanov.
- It is not so easy to eliminate the physical problem in a week. If the game goes into extra time, will this issue not create a problem for you?
- There are such issues. "Qarabagh"'s match with "Shelbourne" was one day before us. They had extra time to rest. Our trips had tired us. Since the national championship has not started, "Qarabagh" is not playing extra games. But we will have enough strength in tomorrow's match.
