Sport24.az presents that interview...
- The Azerbaijani people want a stadium named after Gurban Gurbanov. The most ideal option for this is "Azersun Arena". What do you think?
- Gurban Gurbanov is a historical figure. He is a person whose name will not be erased from the history of Azerbaijani football. I have not personally heard of such a thing. But if it happens, I will support it.
- What are your thoughts on the game?
- We drew with a famous club like "Chelsea". We must also look at the quality of this match. "Qarabag" played relaxed and attacking football, we were not afraid of the opponent's name at all. It is this story, courage, that explains our spirit to the world. We are not afraid of losing, of conceding goals. Our team has spirit, it is courageous. There is determination in the team. Today, "Qarabag" demonstrated the power of the Azerbaijani people to the world, that we have courage. We are a nation capable of peace, war, and fighting with the giants of the world. We are a people who can do everything and have self-confidence.
- Who do you want to dedicate this historic achievement to?
- Two days later is our Victory Day. First of all, we dedicate it to our martyrs and veterans. We dedicate this achievement to our people, Mr. President Ilham Aliyev, media representatives, and everyone.
- Can you buy a new striker to strengthen the squad in the winter break?
- Our club has full support for head coach Gurban Gurbanov. We are a club capable of bringing in the player he chooses. Bringing in a player is a very difficult process. The incoming player must be suitable for us in terms of price, morality and other issues. Gurban hoca knows this best in the world. As management, we do not interfere in these matters. We have full financial support for him.
