"Marko Jankovic is the best football player who has come to Azerbaijan. In my opinion, his absence is a great loss in such important games. Will it affect? I think it will. But there is no irreplaceable player in "Qarabag".
These words were said by former "Qarabag" forward Samir Musayev in an interview with apasport.az.
We present that interview:
- "Qarabag" won by a big score in the match with "Araz-Nakhchivan". How do you assess the performance of the Agdam club in the matches with "Benfica" and then "Araz-Nakhchivan"?
- "Qarabag" is stronger than all its rivals in Azerbaijan, both as a team and in terms of individual football players. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for them to win. Winning with a big score or a minimal result does not show the weakness of other teams. The reality is that "Qarabag" is currently superior to all clubs. As for the big score issue, this may sometimes be due to the opponent's - for example, "Araz-Nakhchivan's" - game not working that day. This is normal for football. Just as "Qarabag" itself sometimes suffers defeats in the championship. As for the difference between the two teams' games, there is a serious advantage, especially in terms of speed. This factor also gives "Qarabag" extra strength in the championship.
- "Qarabag" is waiting for a meeting with "Copenhagen". Do you believe that "Qarabag" will win this match?
- We always believe in "Qarabag"'s victory. But it's football, anything can happen. The main thing is not only to be with the team when it wins, but also to believe in and trust the team in defeat. If "Qarabag" plays more disciplined, more willingly, it can beat any team, not just "Copenhagen".
- Marko Jankovic will not appear in this match due to injury. His absence can be considered a great loss for the team. Do you think this will be felt a lot in "Qarabag"'s game?
- Marko Jankovic is the best football player who has come to Azerbaijan. In my opinion, his absence is a great loss in such important games. Will it affect? I think it will. But there is no irreplaceable player in "Qarabag". I don't know who Gurban Gurbanov will play in that position. But I am sure that whoever plays will provide the necessary help to the team.
- Before Jankovic, Kadi Borges played in his position in the European Cups this season. Do you think it would be more appropriate to check Kadi or Kristian Kuakunu there?
- The coaches know better who needs to play in that position. Kadi can play better in that position. Emmanuel Addai has also been playing in that position recently. He also has a better chance to perform there. God willing, we will see who the coaches will give a chance to.
- The most criticized issue about "Qarabag" was the failure to make a striker transfer. But Kamilo Duran played as a striker in the match with "Benfica" and had an effect. Do you think Duran can be accepted as "Qarabag"'s new striker?
- Coaching is not just about training. It is also about revealing the talent of some football players. Gurban muellim is very skilled in this field as well. Because it is not every coach's job to play Addai as a midfielder and bring out Kamilo Duran as a striker. Now Duran gives more effect in attack, and Emmanuel Addai in the center. It is difficult to say now how it will be in the future.
- In general, do you believe that "Qarabag" will qualify for the Champions League play-off stage this season? The rivals are "Athletic" (Bilbao), "Liverpool", "Chelsea", "Napoli", "Ajax", "Eintracht"..
- It will be difficult and painful. But God willing, we will succeed. If we can't pass, it will be a great experience for us. It will be a great success for our football. In both cases, "Qarabag" and our football will win.
