“Everyone says that reaching this level is part of the job, but staying here is more difficult. I think we can’t stop, we have to work for bigger goals.”
As İdman.biz reports, former Qarabag player Aslan Kerimov stated this.
The 51-year-old expert assessed Qarabag’s performance in the Europa League this season. He stated that in the new football season, Gurban Gurbanov’s team must prove itself in the Champions League:
“If this competition had the old format, then the goal should be to participate in groups and reach the next stage. But now in the new format they will be divided according to the ranking of countries and teams. In any case, we must try to get out of the group in which we will be “
Kerimov clarified what this successful performance could bring to Azerbaijani football:
“This success can become an example of the development of the club. But this is completely unrelated to the development of Azerbaijani football. The success of “Qarabag” will give us, our players, an impetus to mass football. But let’s face it, there were only 2-3 local players in the main squad. The remaining players are all foreign players. Now it is necessary to achieve this success with local players. Then we can move forward at the national level. But in any case, the success of Karabakh is motivation. Football plays an irreplaceable role in attracting children to this sport.”
Let us note that in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, Qarabag lost to Bayer in two matches with a total score of 5:4 and said goodbye to the tournament.
