"The match against Celje was very difficult. In fact, we expected it to be like this."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Sabah's football player Joy-Lens Mickels in his statement to Sportal.az after the first qualifying round match of the Europa League with Celje.
The legionnaire of the Masazir club commented on the defeat in Baku: "Celje is an opponent who likes to play with the ball a lot. This made it difficult for us. We lost with a goal in the last minute. But we have another game with Celje ahead. We will fight until the end."
He also expressed his opinion about the team's new system: "When we say a new system, we are playing our own game. Our head coach's game style is good, we play attacking football. We perform like last season. We will try to be better, play better football next week, and get results. I believe we will make a 'Come back'."
It should be noted that Sabah lost the first match to Celje 2:3. The return match will be held in Slovenia a week later.
