"We are 100% behind whichever players our head coach likes" - Tahir Gozel

"It was a difficult and equally beautiful championship. You can feel that the quality of the championship is increasing every year. I am very pleased with our referees. "Qarabagh" proved once again that it is getting stronger every year. This championship made us very happy after our failure in Europe."

QOL.az reports that these words were said by "Qarabagh" president Tahir Gozel to journalists after the 32nd round of the Misli Premier League against "Sabah", which formalized the team's championship (1::1).

He talked about the team's future plans: "Our future depends a little on our luck. Let's see which teams will come out for us in the draw. It is known to everyone that there is a great spiritual unity between me and Gurban Hoja. We understand each other well. He knows that we are always by his side. Our sponsor is always supportive. We fully support whichever players our coach wants. There is a cup final match with "Sabah". After that match, we will have a meeting with Gurban Hoja. We will discuss which players will leave and which new players will be acquired. Being in the Champions League is a positive thing for us in every way. I am not setting a goal for the team. They themselves know that the main goal is to show a game that inspires Azerbaijan and to represent our country properly."

Speaking about the abolition of the legionnaire limit, the club leader said that they will pay more attention to children's football: "I think that the abolition of the limit helps us in the short term. As someone who loves Azerbaijani football, I can say that I am not in favor of abolishing the limit as a supporter of long-term development. Nevertheless, we will focus our support and attention more on children's football. We should set ourselves a goal to have a limit within ourselves."

T.Gozel said that he hugged the players in the dressing room after the game: "I couldn't come to myself from happiness for 1-2 minutes. I hugged and kissed everyone. I congratulated everyone one by one. It was a great joy for us."

"Qarabagh" will face "Sabah" again in the final of the Azerbaijan Cup. T.Gozel called this match "Lions' war": "I know that "Sabah" will prepare very strongly for that game. It is almost their last chance to go to European Cups. Therefore, I believe that there will be a match that we will call "Lions' war."
