"We have advanced to the play-off stage of the Champions League, and we also have a chance to qualify for the League stage. We will prepare well and try to reach the main round by showing our best games."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by "Qarabag" footballer Musa Gurbanli in an interview with Telegraf.
The 23-year-old striker shared his thoughts on qualifying for the next stage of the UEFA Champions League III qualifying round by defeating North Macedonian representative "Shkendija" (1:0, 5:0).
Gurbanli stated that this result will be a good stimulus for the next games: "We had a great victory. First of all, we showed a good game for our fans. Of course, they are even happier because of the high-scoring match. We are also more pleased to see our fans."
The forward admitted that he did not expect the score to be so high: "Actually, when we conceded in the 10th minute, we shook a little. Because we have had many such cases. We conceded an early goal, and then our team started playing well. We came out to win. A big win is also a common thing in football."
The young football player also talked about the upcoming play-off stage matches against Hungarian "Ferencvaros": "It doesn't matter who the opponent is, it's God's work. We will see our preparations. We will prepare very seriously. We will do our best to win both games."
Gurbanli considered the postponement of the game with "Sabah" in the first round of the Azerbaijan Premier League as a normal occurrence: "I have not seen any official information about changing the date of the game. Both they and we are playing in European Cups. It may be difficult for both sides to face each other now. I hope that "Sabah" will pass the stage in the UEFA Conference League. Whichever team is in better physical shape will get a good result."
It should be noted that "Qarabag" will play its first match against "Ferencvaros" on August 19 away, and the return match on August 27 at home.
