"If we evaluate the preparation, it was not bad. We played good matches."
Idman.biz informs that this was said by the head coach of Qarabag Gurban Gurbanov in his statement to journalists.
The Azerbaijani champion evaluated his team's training camp in Austria in the briefing at Azersun Arena: "I was satisfied with each of the players. Maybe it would be better if we played an extra game. After a few matches, the team can return its national form."
He also announced his expectations for the away match against Lincoln (Gibraltar) in the second qualifying round of the Champions League: Lincoln is a solid team. Although our victory over this team last year seemed easy, it was not like that at all. We had a lot of trouble. In any case, we will try to prepare for this game with full motivation. If I say that I was able to fully analyze the match, it is not so. We could not see the full match because of the red card in both matches. Moreover, since the opponent has already played two official matches than us, this is an additional advantage for them. In general, I think we are ready for at least the first match."
Qarabag will hold its first meeting with Lincoln on July 23. The match will start at 20:00 Baku time.
