A team that plays in the main stage of the Champions League is never weak. "Qarabag" also came to this place with great effort.
Idman.biz reports that these words were said in a statement to AZERTAC by Vugar Nadirov, the former football player of "Qarabag", while talking about his former team's match against "Benfica" in Portugal in the first round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The specialist, who is currently the head coach of the "Shamkir" team competing in the II League, said that "Benfica" is in better shape compared to previous years: "I watched the matches of the Lisbon representative with the Turkish club "Fenerbahce" in the play-off stage of the Champions League. They demonstrate a compact and stable game. They do not make positional mistakes. The opponent's coach, Bruno Laje, has also analyzed "Qarabag" well. He knows that the Azerbaijani champion is a team that will be a headache at any moment. It is possible to believe that we will win a point. Gurban Gurbanov's team has repeatedly performed well against strong opponents away. The matches with the other Portuguese representative "Braga" are in everyone's memory. You just have to believe and fight."
It should be noted that the "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held today at the "Da Luz" stadium, will start at 23:00 Baku time.
