Rahid Amirguliyev's OPINION on the performances of "Sabah", "Araz-Nakhchivan" and "Zira" in the European Cups

"Sabah" surpassed "Petrocub" by a large margin in both games. The team showed that it is strong in all components."

Idman.biz reports that these words were said in an interview with AZERTAC by Rahid Amirguliyev, a former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, while talking about "Sabah" and "Araz-Nakhchivan", which qualified for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, as well as "Zira", which stopped the fight in the European Cups.

The 35-year-old midfielder said that Bulgaria's "Levski", the opponent of "Sabah" in the third qualifying round, is a strong team: "It is true that I have not watched their games. But Bulgarians always perform successfully in Europe. "Levski" is one of the most distinguished clubs in the country. It is also stronger than "Petrocub". It was easy for "Sabah" to play against the representative of Moldova. But it will be difficult in the next stage".

According to him, "Araz-Nakhchivan" proved that the teams that are favorites on paper do not always win by eliminating "Aris" from the competition: "Some people expected the Greek representative to advance to the next stage. It was a great success for the debutant team to achieve this. Nakhchivan club fought well in both matches. The next opponent will be Cyprus' "Omonia" club. It is a familiar team to us. They have faced Azerbaijani representatives many times. It is a strong opponent. Elmar Bakhshiyev is waiting for the second difficult test. But after the match with "Aris", we must believe in our team."

Amirguliyev said that "Zira" fought well despite losing to "Hayduk": "After the draw, the most prestigious team fell to "Zira". They played well at home and away. Ricardo Martins Guimaraes's red card affected the match. If this had not happened, we could have seen a different result. "Zira" had the power to pass "Hayduk"."

It should be noted that the first matches of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League will be held on August 7, and the return matches will be held on August 14.
