Gurban Gurbanov’s brother spoke about his worries: "We need to be more realistic"

"In our conversations with Gurban, I know how seriously they are preparing for this game. I think we will return with a good result."

This was said by Musa Gurbanov, brother of Gurban Gurbanov, a veteran football player who was a guest of Idman Bizde program.

The 59-year-old specialist spoke about his expectations for the visit of Qarabag to Bayer in the Europa League last-16. He expressed his brother's main concern: “I met with my brother before Qarabag left. We talked a lot about the game. There is a lot of anxiety. He deeply feels this responsibility, he knows the expectations of people, fans and all of Azerbaijan. Most of all, it is the belief of the people that makes it responsible. At this moment, including ourselves, we see that everyone expects a successful outcome. No matter how hard the game is, there is no need to talk about the strength of the team. It is a club that makes a name for itself in Europe. It is perhaps the 1st club in the center of attention of European countries in recent times. No matter how optimistic we are, we need to be a little realistic. We all know the strength of the opponent. No matter how much we expect a successful result, we need to be prepared for the opposite. But I think that if they play against them like they did in Baku or against Braga in Portugal, we can expect a good result."

It should be noted that the match in which Bayer will host Qarabag in BayArena will start at 00:00 today.
