The head coach of Karabakh Gurban Gurbanov shared his impressions after the team victory over the Hungarian “Ferencvaros” (3: 1) and the exit to the Round-Office of the Champions League.
“I congratulate their players! They fought frantically today. They really wanted to win. Fortunately, everything turned out well for us. The account can deceive. It may seem that everything was easy. In fact, a very difficult match was made against a good team. Everything could have been different, because the opponent also had good moments. I wish them success, and I hug my players. I congratulate all Azerbaijanis!
We completed the minimum task, breaking through to the group stage of the Europa League? Today we do not think about it. While there are chances to move on, we will try to use them to the maximum. If today we will calm down and rejoice that we went to the group of the Europa League, we will lose. The level of football is now such that every year it is not possible to achieve success. Therefore, since there are chances, we must try to implement them.
Can Karabakh hold its games at the Baku Olympic stadium in connection with the excitement around our matches? We are playing all our matches at the Republican Stadium named after Tofy Bahramov. Perhaps it will not be entirely correct to change the venue of the games. In any case, it will be necessary to discuss this issue on arrival in Baku.
Did I outplayed the tactically Stanislav Cherchesov today? Believe me, I respect Cherchesov very much. A very skilled and potentially strong specialist. Today, if you look at his career, she is richer than my. If I say now that I defeated him tactically, it will be wrong. Football is such a game that strong does not always win. My guys played great today. But that I tactically beat Cherchesov, there can be no talk of this. Tomorrow and I can defeat a less experienced coach. Stanislav Salamovich formed a very good team with strong players. I wish him good luck. “
