"We knew that the opponent plays attacking football, they will press us in front. "Qarabag" is able to exert good pressure. Especially, we saw this in the first part. I congratulate "Qarabag", they deserved to win".
İdman.biz informs that these words were said by Erling Moe, the head coach of "Molde", who lost to "Qarabag" in Baku in the first round of the UEFA Europa League group stage.
The expert believes that they will perform better in the home game: "I always try to play from the back. We must develop in this direction. I think this is the right way. I don't consider it football to come out of defense with long balls every time. I believe we will play better in the home match. But we have to develop."
He explained the reason for making the substitutions late: "As for the changes, this is what happened today. After the substitutions, the opponent performed well."
The coach of "Molde" stressed that he did not feel well after the defeat: "I don't like to lose. That's why I don't feel well. We didn't play well today. We were one step behind. In particular, the quality of passes from the defense was not good. I am disappointed with the performance of the team. I hope we will be better."
Erling Moe answered the question about "Qarabag" being more lucky for the second place in the group: "I think it's too early to say anything. We played only one game. After a few rounds, something concrete can be said. "Bayer Leverkusen" is the favorite, I agree, it is also in the top tier in Germany. Three other teams will fight for second place. We played a game on the trip. We will try to show better results in the next matches."
He said the following about the comparison between "Galatasaray" and "Qarabag", which they met in the playoffs of the Champions League: "Qarabag" gave us very little territory to play in today's game. "Galatasaray" is a good team with strong players. But "Qarabag" performs better as a single team. By saying this, I do not want to express a negative opinion about "Galatasaray". They swallowed us. It's just that "Qarabag" is performing better as a team."
