"Karabakh" won the friendly match against "Zira" with a score of 4:3.
Medianews.az reports to "Qafqazinfo" that the head coach of the Agdam representative, Gurban Gurbanov, answered journalists' questions after the match:
- How did the new players perform?
- It was the last day of the first phase of preparation. We really wanted to have a game like this. It was a very useful match. We divided the match into three parts - two 30-minute and one 45-minute period. I was satisfied with the 8-9 days of preparation. The players were working very responsibly. Indeed, not all players were together during the preparation process. Some were with the national teams, some were injured. The new players played for 30 minutes. They joined us very late. I had good impressions about each of them. I hope they will be useful for our team.
- Are you satisfied with the renewal process going on in the team?
- Not completely. I would like us to complete our work. It is not completed yet. Overall, the process is not going badly. Sometimes there are options we did not think about. I would like our work to accelerate more. But we still have time. I believe we will be able to implement what we have planned.
- Are there ongoing talks for a central defender transfer after Kevin Medina's departure?
- Very serious talks are ongoing. We would like to complete it quickly. But it might be delayed a little.
- Will there be others leaving the team after this?
- It is possible.
- Considering the changes in the squad, is it better to start from the first qualifying round in the Europa League?
- There are both positive and negative aspects. Maybe we needed more time to prepare together. It would have been better if we held additional friendly matches. We have experienced players. I believe we can be in good form for the first match. There might be some difficulties because a new team has been formed. We must be prepared for these situations.
- How many transfers would satisfy you?
- I cannot specify the number. But we need players for several positions.
- Are you satisfied with the condition of the incoming players?
- Currently, it is not bad. They will need some time to adapt.
- Which positions are expected to have transfers next?
- Talks are ongoing for players for every position.
- What will be "Karabakh"'s goal in Europe next season?
- The goal remains the same. At least, we want to participate in the group stage of the Europa League. We will organize our work accordingly.
- Will Camilo Duran play on the wing after Zakaria Savo's arrival?
- It may depend on the game. It is advantageous to have players who can play both in the center of attack and on the wing. I really hope that my ideas will be useful.
- You invited many players from the reserve team to this training camp. Does it mean you will give more chances to your own players next season?
- There are interesting youngsters. Most likely, they will stay with us. I really want them to quickly develop and become members of the main team. I have hopes for a few players.
- How accurate are the reports about Leandro Andrade and Fabian Buntic leaving the team?
- There is nothing official yet. But something might happen in the coming days.
- Will Bahlul Mustafazade be ready for the Europa League match?
- Overall, it was not bad. He started with us. He felt mild pain. Therefore, he needed some rest. He can start the Austria training camp with us.
