"Qarabag" will face "Zira" in the Azerbaijan Cup tomorrow.

Offsideplus.az reports that the press conference of "Kohlen Atlar" coach Gurban Gurbanov was held today. After voicing his opinion about the match, the experienced specialist answered the journalists' questions:

"I would very much like it to be a good game for the fans, regardless of the result. We are playing against a very serious opponent. It was not easy to play against "Zira", especially in the last matches. We will play against a team that is in very good sports form. Our opponent is the second place in the Premier League. It's a great result for "Zira". I've said many times that the cup is completely different. We didn't prepare for it, but they wanted to go home we tried to fully prepare for this game. We will do our best for the result and try to play well for our fans."

- You said that "Zira" will go to the match comfortably. Will this point make your job more difficult?

- There will be advantages. We met them in the final some time ago. We won against "Zira" with penalties. At that time, it was important for "Zira" to win and go to the European Cup. We played for 120 minutes. This is an additional motivation that in such matches Rashad Sadigov is able to play to the end. He does not allow the opponent to introduce his style of play on the field. Taking the second place will help "Zira" enter the game more comfortably and confidently. If the team goes to the European Cup, it is also a title. "Zira" also has a chance to win the second title. We also have a chance. We will have a willing and confident opponent. Last time's final, as well as second place of the opponent, are the advantages of "Zira".

- Have you prepared for penalties?

- I advised the players to prepare psychologically.

- What decides the fate of the finals?

- I approach cup games differently. The biggest, most unexpected results are in the cup. This is the case both in the national cup and in the European cups. In the finals, we have sometimes seen unexpected winners. Look at Germany, the II Bundesliga club played in the final. They almost beat Bayer. I try to prepare my players psychologically in such games. At the end of the championship, it is not right to ask too much about their physical form. Because they are already ready. I prefer the psychological point, that they play freely and coolly. We also have to consider the opponent. He will be a more willing, burning competitor for the trophy.

- Will you support "Real" in the Champions League final tonight? Because if they win, will you start the CL from the second stage?

- No, to "Karabakh". Let it start from the first stage. May the deserving one win. We have tried to move forward with our rating. If it is good for us, if there is an advantage, we would like "Real" to win. We will change our program. We want the players to have more time off. My players have worked hard this season. We will sit and wait.

- Can there be rotation on the goal line? All three goalkeepers are said to be leaving...

- I never said before the game. But the advantage is with Andrey Lunyov.
