Tahir Gozel: "We will try to finish the season with a 'Golden Double' again"

"Qarabag" is getting closer to leaving behind another magnificent season. Our team won the championship for the 4th time in a row and the 12th time in its history with 4 rounds remaining until the end of the Premier League."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Tahir Gozel, president of "Qarabag".

The representative of Aghdam won the Azerbaijan championship for the 12th time. "Qarabag" secured the gold medals after the match against "Sabah" (1:1) of the XXXII round of the Misli Premier League.

Gozel made a statement on the club's website after the next championship. He congratulated the team and fans on the next successful season: "Despite the fact that the championship title was won a few rounds before the finish, it cannot be said that this title was easily obtained. Because all our opponents come to the games with us with motivation and fight hard. The reason for this is that our team is developing more and more every year and turning into a European-level club. As our success increases, so does the motivation of our competitors against us. As the teams in the championship become stronger, they see a stronger "Qarabag" in front of them. The successive championships and successful results in Europe are the result of the unity we have created within the club. Moral values ​​have always been in the first place for our club. Thanks to this, we have always been in the forefront. Our team has established itself as the best in Azerbaijan in world and European rankings. In addition, it manages to leave behind a number of well-known European representatives and foreign clubs with enough fans in our country. With both results and its position in prestigious ranking lists, "Qarabag" is among the selected and respected teams in Europe. All this is the result of the joint work of the entire club, led by the management and our head coach Gurban Gurbanov. In "Qarabag", there is great spiritual unity among everyone from the management, the head coach to the ordinary employee. I congratulate the Board of Directors, the coaching staff led by Gurban Gurbanov, my football players, everyone working in our club, and all our fans whose hearts beat with "Qarabag" on the occasion of the 12th championship, which is a record for Azerbaijani football."

Gozel also touched on the European Cup season and future goals: "Until the title won in the championship, our team also had its say in Europe. With the brilliant victory over Ludogorets in Bulgaria in the Champions League, "Qarabag" made itself known again throughout the continent. Our team qualified for the main stage of the continental cups for the 11th time in a row. In the League stage of the Europa League, which was held in a new format for the first time, its fans were thrilled with its struggle and beautiful game in 8 meetings with well-known teams of the continent. The fact that six of our opponents - "Tottenham", "Ajax", "Lyon", "Olympiacos", "Bodo Glimt" and FCSB - qualified for the next stage shows how strong teams we faced. In addition, one of our opponents will play in the final of the European Cup next time. "Tottenham" and "Bodo Glimt", which we defeated in Norway, will advance to the semi-finals and face each other in this round, and one of them will win a ticket to the decisive match. Successes both in Europe and in the championship call our team to new goals. We are waiting for the final match for the Azerbaijan Cup. I look forward to this meeting with impatience and excitement. "Sabah" is a very strong team. Our opponent in the final has a good team. "Sabah" is getting stronger year by year. Of course, this is football. We are also focused on the final. "Qarabag" will try to win another title and finish the season with a "Golden Double" for the second time in a row. Our team, which has won the national cup 8 times so far, wants to achieve its 9th success. "Sabah" also attaches great importance to this match for a ticket to European Cups. We believe that this match will turn into a beautiful football holiday for the fans. After that, we will start preparing for the next season with great motivation and confidence. We will try to protect the champion title again and write history in Europe. One of our most important goals is to always represent the name of Karabakh properly on the continent. We have always carried this name with responsibility and dignity. We understand the value of this name for Azerbaijan and we will fight to raise it even higher. I trust our team and I have great faith. The team also believes in me and the management. This mutual trust takes us further and will continue to take us further."
