â€œNeftchi is able to pass the second stage. I believe that my former team will overcome Rid barrier,â€ former head coach of Neftchi Agasalim Mirjavadov told APA-Sport agency. Present head coach of Khazar-Lankaran Mirjavadov said that Neftchi is not weaker than Rid.
â€œKhazar-Lankaranâ€™s rival Dinamo is very strong. Anyway we did not lose the game in 90 minutes, but lost the match during the extra time. It has its causes,â€ he said.
Agasalim Mirjavadov said he became optimistic about his former team after watching Neftchiâ€™s match in Austria.
â€œNeftchi has qualified footballers. The match with Rid made good impression on me. The team demonstrated its tactics. The team should use footballers like Samir Aliyev, Zaur Tagizade, Georgy Adamiya. Hot weather may also influence on the match. It will be hot, even if the game will be held in the evening. If Neftchi wants to win, it should tire old players of Rid,â€ he said.
Agasalim Mirjavadov said he expects surprise from MKT-Araz.
â€œIt is difficult for me to comment on MKT-Araz-Grotslin match in Baku, since I could not watch it. Anyway, our team was not beaten by Polish. This is very important. It is worth waiting surprise from MKT-Araz. Ukrainian head coach Igor Nakonechny is full of surprises. MKT-Araz can pass the next stage by ending the match in a draw,â€ he said. /APA/
