The 48-year-old specialist said he did not want to talk much about the game: "Despite the situation in the country, we are trying to do our part as a team. We want to represent Azerbaijan with dignity. We are preparing for the Euroleague match on October 22. We won a hard victory today. "It's not such a team. It only suffered its second defeat today. Congratulations to my players. We scored 3 important points."

Touching upon the events on the frontline, the experienced head coach stressed that everyone should be active in their field: "The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also said that everyone has a duty. Our job is to motivate our army. I did not go to the front line. Hopefully, we will go to better places. "We have to manage the pandemic well so that we do not distract the state. Everyone has a responsibility. My heart is on the front. We just want to be on the front, not the back." 

"It is gratifying that we are in the group. If our players are healthy, we will not have a problem. I trust my players. I believe we will achieve better results," he said.

According to the head coach, it would be better to hold home games in Baku: "The club is in contact with the federation. There was a written appeal to the federation. The only problem is that the game is at 21:00. Our biggest dream is to play here. There is no" no "answer yet. Our opinion alone will not be enough. UEFA and other bodies must agree. "

Gurbanov also spoke about Maccabi (Tel Aviv), which will meet in the first round of Group I: "The opponent is a team that loves to play with the ball. Rarely is this percentage low. We must prepare seriously."

Gurbanov said that it will not be easy to fight on three fronts: "By saying this, I will insure myself. The work of coaches is very difficult at this point. There will be 5 substitutions in the European Cups. This is an advantage for us. I'm sure. We can use them more in the upcoming matches. From the beginning of the year I had the idea to involve young people in the main team. The pandemic affected us as well as everyone. I think it will be good. I like to fix it when there is a problem. "
