Musa Gurbanli: Victory over "Araz-Nakhchivan", Ramil Sheydayev's return, and "Benfica" joy

"Our early goal and, moreover, the opponent's red card, which resulted in them being outnumbered, somewhat simplified our task."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Garabagh football player Musa Gurbanli in an interview with Sportnet.az after the V round match of the Azerbaijan Premier League, in which they won 5:0 away against Araz-Nakhchivan.

The 23-year-old striker, who scored one of the goals, also answered other questions:

– Did you expect to win by a large margin before the game?

– Frankly, we don't think about the score before the game. We only focus on winning. Therefore, this result was very good for us.

– What can you say about Ramil Sheydayev's return to the team?

– Ramil was a member of our team before and we achieved good success with him. Our personal relationships are also very good, we all love him very much. I think this transition will be successful for him too. He will both benefit our team and be able to restore his form in terms of his personal career. We believe that he will help us with his game.

– After the game with Benfica, did you feel a disbalance in terms of the atmosphere of this match?

– Of course, the difference is inevitably great. There is a big difference in terms of atmosphere, field quality, fans, and the speed of the game. But this is our job. We play in both the Champions League and the local championship. Both are very important to us. Therefore, we try to play with all our strength and win in both tournaments.

– What do you feel when you see that the victory over Benfica has resonated greatly in world football?
– Of course, this is a great pride for us. Because we represent our country in the number one arena of world football. Of course, people did not expect this. Because you know how big a club Benfica is. This victory introduced our country in a positive way. We showed that there is football in Azerbaijan, there are football players and we can play. Of course, we are very happy and feel proud.

– Football commentators and former football players in Turkey give Garabagh as an example to their clubs. What do you think about this?

– If we can be an example to someone, we are happy. This is the result of our professional approach to our work.
