"This was the success of the whole team."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Zaur Akhundov, the president of the Nakhchivan Football Federation, in his statement to "Nakhchivan TV."
The functionary commented on "Araz-Nakhchivan"'s elimination of the Greek representative "Aris" in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League: "First of all, we thank the coaches, players and the entire staff. I, like every Nakhchivan resident, rejoice. Our team qualified for the European Cups for the first time and won in its debut."
Akhundov recalled that 60-70 percent of the squad had changed: "Very professional players have been invited. Motivation is in place. They know their business well. They have performed in front of even larger crowds of fans than this. They once again demonstrated their professionalism in Greece. They played football in front of 25,000 fans."
It should be noted that "Araz-Nakhchivan", which defeated "Aris" 2:1 in Baku, drew 2:2 with its opponent on the road.
