"I wish good luck to Gurban Gurbanov and all the players."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the president of Qarabag Tahir Gozel in a statement to the press service of the club.
The head of the club, who did not go to the Europa League last-16 against Bayer in Leverkusen, announced that he believed in his team: "The 2:2 draw recorded in the game in Baku shows that we have the strength and the ability to win. We have a huge opponent in front of us. But regardless of the result, it is important for Qarabag to show its game, its strength, and win applause with the football it has demonstrated."
He noted that he expects a determined fight from the team: "Although our opponent is a giant but there is a strong and poised Qarabag on a historic day. Our team must show its fighting spirit and determination. Defeat is not scary, all champions lose. The main thing is to have a big heart and fight. Fans, those who love us, all of Azerbaijan should see that two great teams are fighting on the field."
It should be noted that the Bayer - Qarabag game will start at 00:00.
