Qarabag assistant suggests defensive tactics

410
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Qarabag assistant manager, Avtandil Hajiyev, spoke to the media ahead of tomorrow’s game against Celtic. This is what he had to say:

“Celtic were strong favourites before the first leg but the 0-1 score suggests that nothing is over yet. The main struggle for both teams lies ahead.

“It’s a pity the game was not on TV as you would have seen that we had the advantage.

“We played well throughout the game, although you could not point to one single area where we were most dominant, but there were periods when Qarabag were on top. If you take the game as a whole, we performed better than Celtic.

“A small defeat away was a good result. Celtic are strong, they even managed to beat Barcelona at home. Eorpean clubs have difficulty at Celtic Park, but we provided decent resistance. 0-1 is not so depressing, we can achieve a result this week which will allow us to progress.

“Tactically, there is little difference between a 0-0 and a 0-1 defeat. We know we have to score one goal with either result to stay in the tie, so our approach will not change because of the goal.

“The return game will also be defensive but we will attack more. The Scots know and have probably already analysed our attacks, but I believe Gurban Gurbanov (Qarabeg manager) will have a few surprises in attack.

“The players have had time to analyse what happened in the first game. Our preparations are complete.

“Celtic can score in Baku but I believe the Qarabag defence will play safe and keep their goal intact.”

It’s a pity we all missed those periods when Qarabag were on top.

    I’m limiting my posts these days (thank Ghod says CQN) however, I have to say something about the one or three posters worrying about The Tribute Act FC being a challenge to us.

     

     

    Giving Hibs a hiding and beating Peterhead 3-0 does not constitute any kind of cause for concern.

     

     

    Having a manager who seems to know how to organise a team reasonably well and employ a fitness coach to get fit young men fit to play for 90 minutes and win two minor cup matches in the lower leagues should not cause you to think they are going to be a threat to us let alone Aberdeen, Hearts, DUFC etc.

     

     

    Did the Bread Man leave Brentford for TRIFC? I’ve not really followed his ‘meteoric rise’ but I thought I heard that he was ‘between jobs’ when he was snapped up?

     

     

    Apart from that – and OK he may turn out a decent manager of a lower league Scottish Club with ambitions to try out the top league – there are one or ten elephants in the Blue Room at present. Not least of these is the massive injection of cash it’s going to take to get the new outfit on an even keel.

     

     

    Do the maths (with or without a calculator). Follow the (lack of) money. Check out where the revenue streams flow to. Ironically, if they get promoted, those streams flow faster and wider OUT of the club. So, they are supposed to compete with lower revenue streams (yep, ST sales will rise but a large portion of the higher priced tickets goes to the Spivs and their arrival in the top fight might actually see an extra few thousand ST’s sold by Celtic!) no European fitba, the same crappy money as the rest of us from the TV, no cash from merchandising………..

     

     

    Gie yersels a break……

    Coming out of the Kerrydale Suite after the match on Saturday I was gifted a bbq tool set. I wouldn’t be allowed bring the tools home in my carry-on luggage but I kept the ‘bag’ (which doubled as an apron) they were contained in. I kept the apron because it had the Celtic crest on it but it got me thinking about the various items of Celtic memorabilia I own. I have a toothbrush holder in the form of a bear wearing a Celtic jersey and my name etched in the wooden base. Among many other items, I also have a decorative garden ornament of a player in a Celtic jersey.

     

     

    So, what is your strangest/favorite piece of Celtic memorabilia?

     

     

    Well done to all students who got their results today and to their parents, guardians & teachers ho guided them along the way.
