"Sabah" is less known than APOEL and "Braga." This morning I told the players that if we don't approach them with the same responsibility as we did against previous opponents, it would be a huge mistake on our part. The opponent deserves our respect."
İdman.biz reports that this was stated by "Levski" head coach Julio Velasquez at a press conference held before the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League against "Sabah."
The Spanish expert stated that they analyzed our representative: "We have spent enough time and energy analyzing them. Many of the players from last season continue to play for the team this season. They have talented and good players. If you allow the opponent to play with the ball and reach the final third of the field, they are extremely dangerous. I would distinguish not individual players in "Sabah" but the team. If you allow them to have the ball in the final third, they will cause you problems. I have great faith in my players, in our qualities. I believe that the team is focused on the game and that they clearly understand what they have to do."
It should be noted that the "Levski" - "Sabah" match will start tomorrow at 22:00. The return match will take place a week later in Baku.
