It will be a very difficult game for Neftchi. In any case, the team had to decide the fate of the pair in the match in Baku. "HIK had a hard game two days ago, and Neftchi had to take advantage of this fatigue of the opponent, as he covered a long distance."
The statement Offsideplus.az in an interview with "Neftchi" the former coach, who is currently unemployed, Tarlan Akhmedov "flagship" in the framework of the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League visit to Finland lll TUC cent said speaking about the upcoming match.
The 49-year-old specialist said that the work of "whites and blacks" should not be left to chance, including the problems of defense and offensive line:
Neftchi could easily solve the problem "at home". Perhaps the gaps in the defensive and offensive line, Namik's absence (read: did not play due to injury) prevented the work. Defensive problems continue since the match with Dinamo (Tbilisi). Defenders make too many mistakes. This inevitably has a big impact on the team's game. It would be possible to achieve something by playing harder in Baku and building fast counter-attacks. Unfortunately, even though we gained one point, we could not see the game we expected from Neftchi. The away match will be very difficult. We know Scandinavian football. They work well in balloons, in standard situations. But we did not notice it in HIK. The Finns appeared in this match with a completely different tactic. "
Tarlan Ahmadov also spoke about the rumors that Namik Alaskarov will be transferred to the Turkish club Bursaspor:
A team like Neftchi should not depend on one player. For example, let's say that Namik's injury lasted for 6 months. What would it be like then? Of course, if there is an offer from abroad and Namik wants to live the life of a legionnaire, he should not be prevented. How Mahir Emreli went, Namik is like him. This is a great thing for our national team, our football will develop. Let me add that promising young players in neighboring Georgia immediately go to the clubs of the CIS countries. They use it as a springboard. Namik's departure may affect Neftchi's game. Because he is one of the leading players of the team. We saw it both during the championship and on the way of the "flagship" to the championship. I think it is more expedient for Namik to leave. If we want the development of our football, our nation,
It should be noted that the match between HIK and Neftchi, which will be held at the Bolt Arena stadium in Finland, will start at 20:00 Baku time. In the first match, the score was 2: 2.
