“I congratulate Aghdam’s Qarabag on their victory over the Portuguese club Braga and reaching the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. This is a historic victory, won after a long wait.”
Football veteran Adil Huseynov stated this to İdman.biz.
In the 70s of the last century, a former football player who played for Neftchi, Nakhchivan Araz and other clubs commented on the successful performance of the Azerbaijani champion Qarabag in the Europa League:
“This victory once again proved that for many years the support of football from the Azerbaijani state has shown its practical results through the example of the Qarabag club. Sports achievements and victories are not easy, and the winner deserves praise. No one doubts that Qarabag deserved this historic victory. Despite the fact that they were in the minority on the field, Qarabag proved to everyone that it is important to be purposeful, not to lose heart and to fight to the end to win. This long-awaited historic victory is the result of the hard work of all members of the football club. Of course, the team’s success was facilitated by the confident management of the game by head coach Gurban Gurbanov.”
Huseynov also commented on the upcoming 1/8 final match with Bayer:
“As for Bayer, we know that this team has strong and talented players. They show good collective play and are currently leaders in the German championship. The indicators of the visiting team that I listed can be applied to Qarabag. Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming game, the public and fans of the country are proud of Qarabag and hope to continue their achievements. Now Qarabag must continue to believe in themselves, work hard and be motivated as their greatest success is yet to come. I hope that today, with the support of local fans, our team will interrupt Bayer’s unbeaten streak and once again prove that only those who fight win.”
Let us note that the first match between Qarabag and Bayer will take place today, and the return match will take place on March 14.
