Head coach of FC "Sheriff" in anticipation of the match with FC "Qarabag":

 

- Good evening to everyone present." We are very happy to be in Baku. We know how important this match is for us. Also, we know that tomorrow we will face a very strong opponent. But, I want to tell you that my team is ready for tomorrow's fight. Of course, many circumstances play against us. Here is a large and very beautiful stadium, local fans will drive their team forward. But, we are ready for this match.

 

- Do you think that "Qarabag" is the favorite of the match?

- No doubt, "Karabakh" has an advantage in tomorrow's fight. They play at home, with their fans. But, in football you never know what will happen. All matches begin with the score 0: 0. And only the game itself will show how events will develop. From a moral point of view, we are ready to resist our rival.

 

- You, for sure, analyzed the game of "Qarabag". What features did you find in your opponent's game?

- I saw a very good and organized team that owns a very good ball. Waits, and often finds the right time to attack the opponent's gate. The team has a very fast and strong central striker. And if you do not dwell on personalities, I can say that in general, this is a very good team.

 

- Have you prepared any surprise for "Qarabag"?

"What kind of surprise would it be if I told you about it?" (Smiling)

 

- Will the hot weather interfere with your team?

- What do you think, if we are hotter in Tiraspol than here? Heat is a big problem for any team. Maybe high humidity can create difficulties. But, again, they are the same for everyone. I hope that a little breeze, tomorrow will make the weather comfortable for the game.

 

- You lost points in the last matches of the championship. Did this affect the team from the negative point of view?

- No no. Of course, it was unpleasant for us to lose two points, conceding the ball at the very end of the meeting. We had the opportunity to remove all questions about the winner before the end of the meeting. But, it happens in football. The team played well, but the result, the only thing we were dissatisfied with. We had time to forget the last duel in the championship and think about the next match well.

 

- Does your team have any difficulties with the composition?

- Absolutely none. All are well.

 

- "Sheriff" has played three rounds of the domestic Championship. Do you think this is a plus for your team?

- We started working together on 8 June. Of course, when a team has many matches, you need to constantly choose the right strategy. Most importantly, this is how we will play tomorrow. We have enough motivation, and it comes from the subconscious of the players.
