"It may be difficult, but they can manage it."
This was said to Idman.biz by Mushfig Huseynov, the coach of "Qarabagh," who assessed "Sabah"'s chances against Slovenia's "Celje" in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
Gurban Gurbanov's assistant revealed the weaknesses of the "owls": "I am concerned that "Sabah" does not play stably. The opponent is not "Barcelona." It seems difficult for our representative to pass the stage, but it is not impossible. "Sabah" has a strong attacking line, but there are gaps in defense."
The expert also touched upon the impact of the departure of the former head coach of the Baku team, Vasili Berezutski, on the team: "The separation of ways with the Russian coach may create difficulties for the Baku team. A head coach is needed to deal with the team, prepare the players for the game, and direct the staff. Most likely, there will be a new appointment before the date of the game."
It should be noted that veteran football player Mushfig Huseynov played against another Slovenian club, "HIT Gorica," as part of "Neftchi" in the UEFA Cup in 2000, and scored the only goal that won the "white-blacks" in the match in Baku. Although the capital representative won at home, they lost 1:3 away and stopped the fight.
