The head coach of the Turkish club Sivasspor Riza Chalimbay said this at a press conference before the match against Qarabag in the third round of the group stage of the Europa League, Offsideplus.az reports.
The 57-year-old recalled that they managed to score four goals in the previous two matches: "It means we can score. We only think about winning tomorrow's match. We will consider all the risks. We have some injured players. The match with Qarabag is the final for us. We want to finish it well. "
Chalimbay said that they played against Villarreal in the first round of the group stage. He said that his only idea is to win tomorrow's match: "I trust my team and I believe that if everything goes well, we will leave this group."
The head coach also complained about the referee's mistakes: "We have never won due to refereeing mistakes. But we lost matches in Turkey for the same reason. We were penalized in both rounds. It does not matter who the referee will be. Israel's Maccabi (Tel Aviv with a lot of losses) We had 12 substitutes and we had 5. I don't think we played badly. Tomorrow's match is as important as the national team's game. Many players are injured and we have problems in some matches. We will use the players we have. "
The match between Sivasspor and Qarabag, which will take place on November 5 at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium, will start at 21:55 Baku time. The Turkish team lost to Villarreal 3: 5 in the first round in Spain and to Maccabi 1: 2 at home in the second round.
