Emin Kurdov: "The goal is to finish at the top with maximum results in the group stage"

Emin Kurdov, the goalkeeper of the futsal champion "Araz-Nakhchivan" and the Azerbaijani national team, evaluated the results of the first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League.

Idman.biz reports that the captain of the Nakhchivan team spoke about the games in Austria in his statement to Fanat-Az.

Kurdov stated that their first opponent, "Sparta Belfast", was familiar to them: "We also met this team last year in the Champions League and won (7:1). Almost the same scenario happened this time as well. This time we won 9:1. In the second game, we faced the Scottish champion "PYF Saltires". We didn't know this opponent, we didn't know anything about them. But we took the field with the motivation from a successful start. We played confidently and won easily with a score of 7:2. In general, the games in the first two rounds were very useful for us. Because "Araz-Nakhchivan" has been renewed, 90 percent are new players. Therefore, we were worried that we might suffer from a lack of game experience and understanding. We will gradually get into better shape."

According to the captain, they will play the most important game of the tournament tomorrow: "The host "Ljuti Krajišnici" also won their first two matches. The local audience will also be on their side. However, in any case, the goal is to finish at the top of the group with maximum results. We will do everything we can to win our last game as well."

It should be noted that the "Ljuti Krajišnici" (Austria) – Araz-Nakhchivan match will take place on August 30 and will start at 21:30 Baku time. The match will be managed by a team of referees consisting of Filipe Duarte (Portugal), Orest Dutsiak (Ukraine) and Aleksandar Vangelov (Bulgaria).
