“The match was not easy. We expected it to be like this. Because Kapaz has shown very good results in home games this year. They have neither lost to Qarabag nor to Turan Tovuz. They have not been without points in any of their 8 matches.”
Idman.biz reports, citing Futbolxeber.az, that Zira midfielder Rustam Ahmadzade said this while talking about the game in which they defeated Kapaz 1:0 away in the 32nd round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
He said that they have already accomplished the minimum task: “We have already secured being among the medalists and a place in the European Cups. However, this was the minimum goal set for us. Our goal is to play in the Euroleague. For this, first of all, we must finish the championship in second place.”
25-year-old wants Qarabag to win the cup: "First of all, we need to secure a silver medal to qualify for the Euroleague. Then we will watch Qarabag's performance in the cup. Of course, we will support Qarabag in the final. Why not?! Because in this case, we can qualify for the Euroleague by taking second place. This is a better option in terms of the Eurocup perspective."
Ahmadzade also spoke about the match against Turan Tovuz in the next round: "The match will not be easy. Everyone wants to increase their points reserve. It will be an interesting match. Even though we have secured a place in the Eurocup, our goal still remains the same. We want to win every match."
