"The last matches show that there is development and progress in the game of Zira. They played well in the last round of the championship and played very well against Qarabag in the final of the cup."
Aftandil Hajiyev, a former football player of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
The veteran footballer assessed the draw of the Europa League. He explained what should be paid attention to for the "eagles" to have a successful performance in the duel with Sheriff of Moldova: "The team must be strengthened. The most important issue before Rashad Sadygov and the club management is related to transfers. Each of the rivals has more Euroleague experience than Zira. Sheriff competes in the international arena almost every year. There are several positions that, if strengthened, Zira will be able to confidently fight against every opponent and win a result."
It should be noted that if Zira overcomes the barrier of Sheriff in the first qualifying round, they will meet the winner of Elfsborg (Sweden) - Pafos (Cyprus). Otherwise, our team's opponent will be Dunayska Streda (Slovakia) in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
