Offsideplus.az reports that the experienced specialist first spoke about the game:

Control of the game was on our side. Especially in the first part. From this point of view, it was normal for the players to play comfortably and not tire themselves. They may have thought of a weekend game. I was generally dissatisfied.

- You left a different team in the game ...

- We have made some changes. Because there were players who needed to play and relax. The goal today was to win and advance to the next stage. We managed to do that.

- What can you say about Neftchi's game?

- Neftchi is a good team. I said before the game. They played well against us. We had a strong opponent. Good luck in the next games.

- What can you say about Azerbaijan's hospitality and your 500th game?

- Thank you for your hospitality. We are well received every time we come to Azerbaijan. Thank you for that. Today is my 500th game as a head coach. It's a great feeling. This is my 100th victory in Europe. My short explanation is: "It's good that I have Galatasaray in my life."

- Jesse Sigdika was not reviewed by Neftchi and is currently transferred to Galatasaray.

- Sometimes this happens. We liked and transferred. The change of players is fast. I hope it will be even better.

- In the third stage, "Hayduk" will be the opponent.

- It is a very ancient and historical club. I watched the match with Neftchi before the match. They played well. After returning with our team, we will analyze the opponent. I think we will win.
