In front of today’s qualifying match of the CM-2022 between the Football teams of Azerbaijan and Serbia, Serbian media are particularly remembered by Gurban Gurbanov.
The current head coach of “Karabakh” from 14 goals is the best scorer in the history of the national team of Azerbaijan, and Serbam he scored already three times, actually depriving them of the chances of entering the European Championship-2004.
Recall, in 2003, the Azerbaijani national team thanks to two goals of Gurbanov first played a draw 2: 2 in Podgorica, and then beat Balkans in Baku with a score of 2: 1. Then, in addition to Gurban, I scored another Farruh Ismailov.
“Serbia remembers the slaughterhouse in Baku in 2003,” Satellite’s local edition writes. “The team of Othan Savichevich was shocked by Gurbanov and Farrum Ismailov, and before that, Gurbanov scored twice in Podgorica. Those 4 points recruited by Azerbaijan turned out to be They are the only conquest in the selection for Euro-2004.
However, the team of Azerbaijan no longer exists. Gurbanov retired back in 2006, so Serbia can sleep calmly. “
The former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, Serb Brantimir Subashich, who flew to today’s game in the Serbian delegation today was expressed his opinion on the upcoming game.
“I am here and in the role of the owner, and in the role of a guest, – says the ex-forward” Neftchi “and” Grvena Stars “. – Yes, we all remember the famous Gurban Gurbanov, but now other times. I believe that Serbia – the unconditional favorite of the match. Only approach to the game is important. The fact that the guys have shown in the last two games are the best result. I liked it, excellent football. But you can not underestimate Azerbaijan. “
After 2003, the prefabricated Azerbaijani and Serbia played three times, and all three times won the Serbs. Serbia is waiting for the continuation of this series.
Subashich notes that two national teams are about the same average age, but the difference in the class, in his opinion, is huge. Nevertheless, history teaches what you need to be extremely cautious, Branir believes.
“Azerbaijan has a young team, now they have a change of generation. Someone is particularly allocated hard. Maybe Makhir Emrelie, although there is nothing special in it. Basically, these are players who play in the domestic championship,” said Subshich.
