"Today's opponent is considered the favorite of the group."
Arif Asadov, the former Azerbaijan national team coach, told Idman.biz.
He commented on the Qarabag - Tottenham game to be held in the first round of the UEL League phase. Asadov said that we should not forget that the opponent plays in the English Premier League, which is considered one of the strongest in the world: "They stand out by their fast and dynamic football. Therefore, a difficult game awaits Qarabag today. A lot depends on the start of the match. Aghdam representative may face pressure from the first minutes. This will depend on both fan support and Tottenham's desire to score."
According to him, it is very important for Qarabag to be able to get out of this pressure in the first 10-15 minutes: "Of course, it is not easy to take points. However, if Qarabag can prevent the opponent from scoring and if they catch the English in counter-attacks and create some dangerous episodes, it can work in our favor. We witnessed this in the fight against Bayer. Although the first minutes were difficult for our representative, later he gradually showed their game. In my opinion, we will play against Tottenham fearlessly. The representative of Azerbaijan has enough experience in this regard. Tottenham were stronger in terms of quality of players 10 years ago. The coaching factor also played a big role. I think the previous quality is gone. I hope that they can return with at least one point."
Today's Tottenham - Qarabag match will start at 23:00 Baku time.
