The head coach of “Ludogorets” Georgi Dermendzhiev spoke at the press conference in Baku before the visit of “Karabakh” (Azerbaijan).
The first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League is tomorrow at 19:00 at the Tofik Bahramov Stadium in Baku.
“The team is in a good mood and I think we are ready for the match.
“Ludogorets” is getting very close to its optimal form. “Karabakh” also played a match in which its main players did not take part,” commented Dermendzhiev.
“We want to make a good tournament result in order to have the opportunity in Razgrad to finish what we started,” continued the “eagles” coach.
He also commented on the expectations for full stands in the visit of Karabakh.
“Ludogorets” always played well when the stands were full, regardless of which team was supported,” the specialist emphasized.
Then he spoke about his colleague Gurban Gurbanov, who achieved very serious success with the local club. Under his leadership, “Karabakh” became the first local team to reach the round of 16 in European club tournaments.
In the spring of this year, they were stopped by “Bayer” (Leverkusen) in the round of 16 in the Europa League.
“I have always appreciated him as a coach. It is better for a team when the coach works for a longer time and the opportunity to present his ideas. Gurbanov is doing it very well and I see that in addition to the team being champions, it is performing well and in the European tournaments”, Dermendzhiev.
