- In what mood are you going to Israel?

- Thankfully, we receive good news from the front every day. When Mr. President himself announces, there is complete confidence. We are sure that these cities and districts have been seized. We are glad that the city of Zangilan was completely liberated from occupation yesterday. This gives us all extra strength and confidence as Azerbaijanis. We expect such news every day.

 

- According to the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee, Qarabag will play home games in the group on a neutral field. How do you feel about this decision and in which country do you want to host your competitors?

- Frankly, there is nothing in the plan yet. They changed their decision twice last night. Earlier it was written that there may be an alternative. But later they wrote that the match will be held on a completely neutral field. For this, they showed 3 countries: Cyprus, Hungary and Poland. Unfortunately, we were again thrown out of Azerbaijan. I wouldn't want that. It's just that none of us got anything, why did they do that? If the championship continues in the country, why should we play on a neutral field? To be honest, this decision did not reach me. We have been struggling for years to play in a group, big teams come to Azerbaijan and see our mentality and get acquainted. This is especially important at such times. Unfortunately, we could not achieve this. As a club and a federation, we could not influence UEFA. In general, the club was not informed. "Legion" At least they kept in touch with the club when the playoffs were neutral. They wrote every day, we exchanged views. But this time they did not say anything to the club. Suddenly it was said that UEFA has made such a decision. We have always preserved the culture of Azerbaijan. Although we reacted internally, we welcomed the decisions. Still, we will try to do our best. Sometimes such things motivate us. But it is not so easy to play on a neutral field against big clubs. They said that one match will not be held in Baku yet. But I do not believe that others will be allowed to hold it here. It will be an extremely difficult season for us. We will wait for the next decisions. But this time they did not say anything to the club. Suddenly it was said that UEFA has made such a decision. We have always preserved the culture of Azerbaijan. Although we reacted internally, we welcomed the decisions. Still, we will try to do our best. Sometimes such things motivate us. But it is not so easy to play on a neutral field against big clubs. They said that one match will not be held in Baku yet. But I do not believe that others will be allowed to hold it here. It will be an extremely difficult season for us. We will wait for the next decisions. But this time they did not say anything to the club. Suddenly it was said that UEFA has made such a decision. We have always preserved the culture of Azerbaijan. Although we reacted internally, we welcomed the decisions. Still, we will try to do our best. Sometimes such things motivate us. But it is not so easy to play on a neutral field against big clubs. They said that one match will not be held in Baku yet. But I do not believe that others will be allowed to hold it here. It will be an extremely difficult season for us. We will wait for the next decisions. But it is not so easy to play on a neutral field against big clubs. They said that one match will not be held in Baku yet. But I do not believe that others will be allowed to hold it here. It will be an extremely difficult season for us. We will wait for the next decisions. But it is not so easy to play on a neutral field against big clubs. They said that one match will not be held in Baku yet. But I do not believe that others will be allowed to hold it here. It will be an extremely difficult season for us. We will wait for the next decisions.

- Qarabag director Emrah Celikel told Report that UEFA will be asked to host home games in Turkey. How realistic is this option now?

- If there is an alternative, we will gladly offer Turkey. But frankly, I don't believe it. Probably there are forces that prevent it. I think it will be in vain. Because if they make such a decision, I think we will have no other option.

- For a neutral field you have to choose one of 3 countries - Poland, Hungary and Cyprus. Which of these do you prefer to play in?

- We will decide after considering everything. It is not enough for us to go there and play. At the same time, they must provide us with security guarantees. Although we are the host, we are guests there. The state must be guaranteed at the federal level. Probably, negotiations will be held with both countries and federations. Then we will make a decision.

- What do you think about tomorrow's match with Maccabi and what can you expect from the match?

- We are going for a good game and result. This is the first game of the group. I believe we will return to Baku with a successful result.

- Although the season started unsuccessfully, it seems that after the recent events, Qarabag is playing more motivated. In general, what is the psychological situation in your team?

- I have always said that even if you are psychologically tired, your physical condition is more important. Playing 6 games of the group away, playing in the national team every 3-4 days, in the championship, the players are extremely tired both physically and psychologically. This creates a problem in motivation. True, we will have this experience for many years. But we have never had such a difficult season. It is not easy to play in 3 tournaments. Also, the team does not have more players than last year. If last season there were 23 players in the squad, now this number is 15-16. We also have 3-4 young players. In any case, everyone, especially our youth, has a great responsibility. Maybe it will be very useful for those players to grow faster.
