The head coach of Karabakh, Gurban Gurbanov, at the post-match press conference, expressed his opinion about the match with Ferencvaros (1: 1) in the Champions League.
“The match turned out to be very tense, – says Azerbaijani champions mentor.” We played against an opponent who treats the ball well. At the beginning of the match, we were faced with difficulties. But then we were able to take control of the game. Everything will become known after the return match. We will fight and try to take advantage of the maximum. I would like to express great support to our stunning fans, who always with us and believe in the team.
Var canceled our goal? Let everything be fair. If the goal is scored from offsay, then it must be canceled. We must get used to this system.
The players who went on the field did everything for success. Perhaps Kadi would add a certain quality to us. I would like all the players at my disposal. When there are more healthy players, the rotation is easier to conduct.
Why do we often miss the first? Football players played in such a heat against a strong opponent. The fact that we missed the first goal means absolutely nothing. This is part of football. We play against rivals from the rating championships much higher than ours. Of course, we try to play more reliably. But even after the missed goal, the players do not lose heart. Believe me, my players are doing everything possible for our success. They perfectly understand which club they are for. We want our fans to always be satisfied with our game.
I think that the result of the match is fair. Both we and rivals could score goals. Ahead of us, at least 90 minutes of response are waiting for us. The course of the match shows that the result is fair. On the eve of the response, the chances are equal. We do not think about defeat. But even the defeat will not be the end of the world for us. This is the Champions League and strong teams play here.
So far, I can’t say whether Maxim Medvedev can go to the field in a return meeting. He has such an injury that does not allow to name the exact deadlines for return.
What did Cherchesov tell me after the match? He spoke about the episode with Ovus, when he, in his opinion, returned the ball to the goalkeeper too much. I replied that he should not worry about such episodes.
When we went to the game, we heard about the counter -terrorist operation of the Azerbaijani army. May Allah of the Souls of our Shahids rest. Such news upset us. They have a very strong effect on me. We owe the Shahids for being sitting here today and we can calmly talk. They gave their lives for their homeland. After the match, the players discussed recent events. And our legionnaires also fully own information. “
