We had seriously prepared for the match against "Shkendiya". Indeed, it was a good victory, we fought well. The opponent was also a good team, they wanted to achieve a successful result. But everything worked out for us. We were able to show on the field what we worked on during the week. I am very pleased and very happy with the victory."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by "Qarabağ" defender Kevin Medina in his statement to Sportal.az.
He commented on his team's 5:1 victory over "Shkendiya" in Baku in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League and qualifying for the play-off: "There are no easy opponents in this stage. We just followed the head coach's instructions correctly. That's why everything went smoothly for us. In the end, we were able to achieve the result we wanted. We are focused on our work, on our game. We will try our best in the upcoming matches as well. Of course, we want to reach the main stage of the Champions League. We try every year to achieve this desire. We are already one step away from it. I know that our fans also expect this achievement from us. I hope it will work out this time.
It seems to me that we get closer to reaching the main stage of the Champions League every season. We also have chances. We just need to focus, concentrate on our work. Whatever is destined will happen. We will fight to the end."
