The head coach of Karabakh, Gurban Gurbanov, held a press conference before tomorrow’s match of the 4th round of the Europa League with the Greek Olympiacos, which will be held at the Republican Stadium named after Topy Bahramov and will begin at 20:45. Recall, a week ago, in Pirae, Karabakh defeated the Greeks with a score of 3: 0.
“We must be correctly treated to the opponent,” says Gurban Gurbanov. “Olympiacos will play with a great desire. This is the last chance for them. They are very seriously preparing. I read the interview of the head coach of Olympiacos. The Greeks are very positive. They say. that it’s time to show who they are.
In recent days, we had some fatigue. But I think that the guys will recover and will be ready. The result of the guest match is very good for us, but he should not deceive either me or players. In that game we had many mistakes. After the match, analyzing it, I noticed this. The opponent forced us to make mistakes. We will try to show good football tomorrow and fight to the end.
Why are we in the last games much more score in the second half? I can’t name the specific reason why it turns out. Any rival in the first half is better resisted, it is more ready. Perhaps in the second half they lose game discipline, and we use it. It used to happen that, on the contrary, we scored more in the first half. In any case, you need to try to keep the pace for 90 minutes and fight to the end.
I always said that it is easier to rise to a certain height than to stay on it. Now we have won, and we are very big expectations. This causes tension, excitement. I have said many times that we are not afraid to lose. You need to improve the game from the match to the match. We do not want to lose the faith of the fans. “
Gurban Gurbanov also commented on rumors that the Russian club is interested in the Russian Karabakh player.
“I do not have information about this. But it’s normal that we are interested in our players. Marco has a contract with us. We will discuss the issue of extension in the coming months.”
