“Congratulations to the players. Although we won 4:1, we played against a strong team. The first match showed that the championship must be taken very seriously. I was not dissatisfied with the game. I was dissatisfied with the players in some episodes.”
As reported by İdman.biz, this was stated by the head coach of “Qarabag” Gurban Gurbanov, commenting on the first game of the Azerbaijan Premier League of the 2024/2025 season against “Araz-Nakhchivan”.
The experienced specialist also expressed his opinion about Ludogorets, whom they will meet in the third qualifying round of the Champions League:
“I watched Ludogorets play live two days ago. They have players with individual skill. They play very quickly, they finish attacks well. Serious preparation is needed. Along with team play, we must play carefully in one-on-one combat. This is very important. It is also important to stop counterattacks. We must be ready for this. It feels like the coach demands this kind of play. They have several well-practiced combinations that they use. These games will be interesting for all of us. It may be that we will spend a lot of energy. There may also be a tactical fight. We must be very prepared.”
It should be noted that in the first game of the season, Karabakh defeated Araz-Nakhchivan with a score of 4:1.
