“Our players stood firm against the opponent”

Following the UEFA Champions League group stage Matchday 3 encounter between Athletic (Spain) and Qarabağ (3:1), our head coach Qurban Qurbanov shared his thoughts. The experienced specialist assessed the match at the post-game press conference:

“It was a very interesting game for the fans. We wanted at least not to lose, and we had our chances for that. Yesterday I said we would fight until the end, and today my players proved it. We faced a very dynamic and fast team. It wasn’t easy, but our players stood firm against the opponent. I want to thank our supporters who didn’t leave us alone in such a great atmosphere. As the tournament progresses, our opponents are getting stronger, and the responsibility increases because every team will try to earn more points in the remaining rounds. We will continue to play with discipline and fight hard in the upcoming matches.”
