"Winning was very important for us. This was also our first match after the winter break."
These words were said by Kapaz footballer Rauf Huseynli.
The 26-year-old midfielder shared his thoughts on the match in the 17th round of the Misli Premier League, in which they defeated Qarabag (2:0) away.
"Starting the second half of the season with a victory will give us extra motivation. Every point gained is very valuable. That's why we were very happy as a team. But we must already forget this game and focus on the next match," he said in a statement to sport24.az.
R.Huseynli said that they believed in victory in that meeting:
"We also knew it would be difficult. But we go to every game to get the maximum result. I watch every game of Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League. They represent Azerbaijan properly in the international arena. We also watch and support them. They have the last matches in the main stage left. I wish them success in the game with Liverpool. We believe that they will achieve a good result away. Because they have shown that they can play a good and disciplined game against every team."
