A press conference with the participation of our head coach Samir Abasov and footballer Sabir Bugri was held before the match between Neftchi and Olympiacos, which will be held on July 28 at 21:00 at Bakcell Arena within the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. First, the head coach commented on the game:

"After the first game, we learned what the opponent is capable of. We knew before the match how strong the opponent was. We are ready for tomorrow's game. I think we will have a tense and interesting struggle. There is a stir by those who want us, the fans. We believe that we will be able to justify their zeal. Our team will increase from game to game and reach a better level. We have the potential for that. There are some sad moments. We have losses, but I do not want to talk about it. Looking forward to tomorrow. We have a very interesting game ahead of us. "

Then Sabir Bugrin said: “After the first game, our self-confidence increased even more. We did not deserve to lose. We could return with a better result. Tomorrow we will show the best we can. "

Then the player answered journalists' questions: "We may be the reason for the poor performance of Olympiacos in the first match." That is, they were not weak. We analyzed the opponent well. Tomorrow we have to make them adapt to our game. True, I had pain in my leg in the first game, but I'm ready for this match. Whether it hurts or not, I will try to show my full strength and help my team. "

In the end, Samir Abasov answered the questions of the media: “Everything can change at any time. I do not want to talk about the tactical move today. We can get sad news from some players. There is no definite answer today as to who will play tomorrow. We are also waiting for the situation of some players. The fans are very active. Their support on social networks is very important to us. We believe that this will continue during tomorrow's game. Their support helps us to bring the players to the desired position. After the match with Dinamo, we talked to the officials about the condition of the grass, and they explained why. There are some points where the pitch should rest. We train here, it can be said. In addition, it is difficult to look at the field in hot weather. I believe that from now on the condition of the field will be as we want. True, tomorrow's game will be in a completely different format. But I believe that everything will be fine. "
