"It was a good game. Today we gave most of the players a chance to play. True, some played less in terms of minutes. This was also planned. I mean Abdullah Zubir, Marko Vesovic and Bahlul Mustafazade. Two of them were sick, Bahlul had returned from injury. These players needed to play less. Thanks to Rashad Sadygov, he agreed to play 3 halves and we had such a game. It was a good ending. It was a useful game for both teams."
According to Sport24.az, these words were said by the head coach of "Qarabag" Gurban Gurbanov after the test match against "Zira" (4:2).
He generally assessed the training camp as follows: "Overall, I was satisfied. But not everything I wanted can be realized. We have little time and few training sessions. In the coming days, after the players fully regain their athletic form, we will be able to demand the maximum from them."
Q. Gurbanov also clarified the latest situation regarding Juninho's transfer: "The management also says that it is moving towards completion. We haven't seen anyone from the management yesterday and today. Therefore, I cannot say anything. But I know that everything is moving towards completion."
The experienced specialist did not want to express his opinion on the legionnaire limit, which has been the main topic of discussion in recent days: "I am a member of the Executive Committee, and therefore, it would not be right for me to express any opinion. Because I participate in that group. It is not right for me to express an opinion now."
He said that it is too early to express an opinion about AFFA's new development strategy: "Football, sports like stability. We can suddenly go 10 stages forward, or we can fall back... But we cannot say that everything is completed with this. Or, if we go forward, we have developed, it would not be right to think the opposite when we fall back a year later. The strategy plan has not yet been fully formed. After everything is fully formed, it would be more correct to take some necessary elements, those that are suitable for us, separately and discuss them. Anyway, these goals are put forward to develop. It is too early to say something today about what will be suitable and successful for us. After everything is completed, it can be a bigger topic of discussion."
