"I would like Zira to pass the stage, I will support them. The chances are 50/50. If the players correctly implement what Rashad Sadigov said, it will work out."
Idman.biz reports that former Azerbaijani national team football player Ruslan Gurbanov said this in an interview with Telegraf, while evaluating the first match between "Zira" and Croatian "Hajduk" teams in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
The 34-year-old player, who played for the Split club 10 years ago, said that he watched the first match, which ended in a 1:1 draw. Gurbanov noted that he supports the "eagles": "I watched the match until the end, no team wanted to lose. But "Zira" had the opportunity to win and maintain the advantage. I will support them in the next game as well."
Emphasizing that he is closely familiar with Croatian football, Gurbanov emphasized that the return match will be difficult: "Hajduk is a gateway to Europe, where football players are trained and sold at a good price. It would have been better to face another club, but what is, is. The return game will be more difficult, in a completely different atmosphere. Because playing in Split is not easy at all. There are the best fans there."
It should be reminded that Ruslan Gurbanov played for Hajduk on loan in 2015. The return match between Split representative and "Zira" will be held on July 31 at the "Polyud" stadium.
