Qarabag's head coach Gurban Gurbanov said this at a press conference after the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Azerbaijan Cup, which they defeated Gabala 3-0 on the road, Offsideplus.az reports.

The 49-year-old specialist said that there was a problem with the pitch of the Gabala city stadium: "At the beginning of the match, the pitch was better. Then they said there were some problems with the pitch. This factor slowed down the pace of the match. However, we reached the minimum goal and qualified for the semifinals. " 

The experienced specialist also spoke positively about Gabala: “After looking at Gabala's staff, I told my assistants that this team is not afraid of any rival. They are always trying to improve their attacking potential. There were several rotations in the squad, there were more attacking players on the field. I believe that Gabala will play better. This team needs good results, Gabala deserves it. "

"We have just started the second half of the season. Every player needs to improve his form. It can only be done with games. So many. We don't have any players. 14-15 players are members of the main squad, we make 2-3 changes in the matches. There may be 1-2 changes in the squad in the upcoming matches, but all of them are members of the main squad. For example, we gave a 90-minute chance to those who were in the low field. We rotated a little. There was no fatigue, nothing else. "
