'Qarabag' defeated Iceland's 'Vestri' 3-0 in the first qualifying round of the Europa League yesterday.

Following the match, the club's president, Tahir Gozal, made a statement that drew attention. The experienced official remarked, 'This year is the strongest in Qarabag's history.'

Vaqif Sadygov, chairman of the AFFA Coaches Committee, shared his thoughts on this statement with Offsideplus.az:

'Tahir Gozal always believes in his team and coaches. It was time for a restructuring. Gurban Gurbanov also took this step. It is difficult to draw conclusions from one match. However, there is great confidence from the management to the technical staff. They bring us this joy and success, year after year, better and better. Patience and time are needed. The steps taken can lead to a final result. I do not want to speak individually. The opponent is not just any opponent. As time goes on, especially after the championship starts, the quality will be evident. There will be great interest not only in Europe but also in the championship. 'Neftchi' has also regained its glory. 'Sabah', 'Zira', and 'Turan Tovuz' are also coming with big ambitions. Where there is competition, there can only be development.'
