"We will play at home against Chelsea, and the fans will support us. But the fans never go out on the field and run for you, they don't win for you. Eleven people will fight against that one person on the field."
Qarabag's Brazilian footballer Kadi Borges stated that they are not preparing for the match against England's Chelsea club in the IV round of the UEFA Champions League in Baku next week: "We have not started preparations yet. We will start preparing for this game from tomorrow. We have to run a lot and fight on the field to win and get a good result. The support of the fans is very important, but we have to put something on the line ourselves," he said in a statement to teleqraf.
Kadi also spoke about the game in the X round of the Azerbaijan Premier League, in which they defeated "Imishli" 2:0 away:
"It was a difficult game. In general, it is always difficult to fight against a team that plays with a five-man defense and three attackers in front of them. We played patiently and created several scoring opportunities. True, we missed a few, but thank God we were able to win. In general, it is very important to find a way out and win in this type of game.
Just because the opposing team was promoted to the elite this year doesn't mean everyone should score goals against them as they please. "Imishli" is a good team. You saw in the game that they are good in one-on-one fights, and they also played with a five-man defense. It is not possible to score goals easily in such games. It doesn't mean that just because they are a debutant team, everyone should score five goals against them. They are not a bad team, they play very defensively. Even with difficulty, we were able to break through this defense, find gaps and win."
The Brazilian footballer thinks that there is enough time to prepare for the match against Chelsea: "You see that we perform with the same philosophy, the same system and the same style of play against any opponent. Therefore, the head coach is not expected to make any serious changes just for the game against Chelsea. This game itself was a preparation for that match. It seems to me that it is necessary to prepare for all games in the same way. As a professional footballer, I do not differentiate between games. Of course, this game is over, and the next game is a new and important match."
It should be noted that the match "Qarabag" - "Chelsea" will be held on November 5 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium and will start at 21:45.
