According to Offsideplus.az , the coach of the Aghdam representative said the following about the game:

"Congratulations to my players. Thank you to our fans. It's not been like this in stadiums lately. Thank you to everyone. We woke up to a good team. They have very good coaches. We didn't make some mistakes here in Cyprus and prevent deliberate attacks. But yesterday I said that the conditions are the same for both teams. In general, I am very pleased with the struggle of the players on the field. We have to prepare for the games with our other rivals in a short time.

- You emphasized the pitch factor. Is it possible to hold the next rounds in another stadium?

- It can not be taken even if we want. There is little time to change the stadium. There is a break of 2-3 days after the application. It may take time for the representative to look away. The pitch of Azersun Arena is good, but we are not allowed to play this stage there.

- Kadi's appearance changed the game ...

- After the first match, Kerkez emphasized Filip Ozobic. We knew they would play carefully against him. The pitch factor, a slight injury a few days before the game, did not allow him to show his game. In any case, I told my players today that those who enter the game later can change the fate of the match.

- How important is the moral side of this victory for you?

- It wasn't bad. It was a very important victory. We had to win in order to make the conversations interesting and create more agitation (laughs).

- Fans lit pyrotechnics after the goal. Is the punishment from UEFA worth this victory?

- Definitely worth it. There are things that make football beautiful. When you see such cases, you understand what live football is. I have a normal approach to future punishment. Victory is worth more than that.

- Did you have a personal irritation against your opponent today? We have never seen you react so harshly ...

- There were cases when I reacted more harshly. I really wanted to win this team. But I have always respected all competitors. It was interesting to play with AEL. It is a team playing in a different system and style. Inside, I wanted to win this team. But this had nothing to do with the provocation in the first match.

- You haven't hit an "Azerbaijani-style corner kick" for a long time ...

- We do not do this against every opponent. We have our own tasks before each match. Under standard situations, each opponent is defended differently. We can use it in a more important game.

- What is the condition of Richard Almeida? Can we see him in the main squad?

- No matter how long we have, our team has changed since he left. His experience is very important to me. He is a player I believe in and trust. I hope it will be even better. It doesn't matter if you play for 45 or 90 minutes, the main thing is to benefit the team.

- Will it be difficult to play in both the championship and the UEFA Conference League?

- It will be. I have both injured players and those who are out of shape. There are also national team games ahead. A difficult period awaits us. We want to have more players. Work is underway in this direction.

- Will there be new players? Are you thinking of bringing the striker you want?

- I think so. I want to have level and quality training. We plan to transfer several players, a striker, a defender and a midfielder.

- We have not seen such a determined "Karabakh" for a long time. What is the reason for this?

- Sometimes such principled games are useful for players. Recently, I agree with my team in this direction. They do not shy away from fighting, both in training and in games. If you are not persistent in football today, you have no place. After our glorious victory in Karabakh, we have no other way. We will be more aggressive and motivated. My players will try to be fighters on the field.

- In the minutes added by the referee, you looked very excited and tense ...

- AEL plays accurately in long passes. That's why I called on the players to be vigilant. The tension was there from the first minutes.

- Neftchi lost today. What can you say about them?

- I wish success to "Neftchi" and Samir. If we both played in the group stage, it would be good for Azerbaijani football. It would also be a great experience for both of us. I believe that in the next game they will get the result they want. I wish Neftchi success.
