"Last night's victories in the European Cups are the success of national football." Oktay Abdullayev said this in his statement to Sport24.az.
The president of the Union of Football Veterans stated that the successful performance of our clubs in continental tournaments indicates the development of Azerbaijani football:
"Thanks to the management of Araz-Nakhchivan and Sabah for yesterday's victory. Zira's opponent, Hajduk, is a good team. Rashad Sadigov's team played excellent football in the first leg. It would have been better if they hadn't conceded a goal near the end of the match. I think Zira will pass the stage. Despite Araz-Nakhchivan falling behind in the score yesterday, they made a comeback and won, which shows the team's character. Elmar Bakhshiyev is a good head coach, he proved it again in the game against Aris. Veterans are happy about Araz-Nakhchivan's success. Sabah should have actually played in the next stage of the Europa League. They just didn't get lucky in the return match against Celje. The representative of Masazir will have a say in the championship this season. The team shows that it is on the right track. I believe that Sabah will also win the match at home."
