Claims that Gurban Gurbanov fined all the football players of "Qarabag" are unfounded, and such an incident did not occur.
This was stated to Idman.Biz by Anar Hajiyev, head of the club's press service.

It is alleged that "Qarabag" fined all its football players.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to sportinfo.az that this is Gurban Gurbanov's decision.
The reason for the head coach's action is the result recorded in the third round of the Champions League League stage.
The Azerbaijani representative faced "Athletic" on a trip to Spain. The Aghdam club lost the match held at the "San Mames" stadium with a score of 1:3. This was their first defeat in the league stage after 2 consecutive victories.
It is not only the result that disappoints Gurbanov. The experienced specialist is dissatisfied with the fight shown by his football players. He considered it necessary to fine his players due to their failure to perform at the desired level and the failure to fulfill most of their tasks.
The amount is quite large. This money will be deducted from the team members' salary fund for October.
"Qarabag" had won both of its previous matches, while "Athletic" had not scored any points.
Gurban Gurbanov's team, which defeated "Benfica" 3:2 in the first round and "Copenhagen" 2:0 in the second round, is currently 13th in the standings with 6 points.
It should be noted that the team that takes the first 8 places in the Champions League League stage directly qualifies for the 1/8 finals, and those who take the 9-24 places qualify for the play-off stage. Those who take 25-36 places finish their performances in European Cups.
