GURBAN GURBANOV: "I WANT MY TEAM TO SHOW SPECTACULAR FOOTBALL AND ACHIEVE A POSITIVE RESULT"

- We are waiting for an interesting game with a strong opponent, that among other factors has a new head coach. I know that Stanimir Stoilov has achieved a lot of success for the recent years, and the Kazakhstan team plays football well too. I think I managed to explain my players everything that they really have to know, gave the opportunity to study the opponent well. I want my team to show spectacular football and the final result would positive for us.

- As you already noted, the Kazakhstan team has a new head coach, they have played only two matches. Despite this, can you emphasize any strengths or weaknesses of the opponent?

- Of course, I analyzed the matches of your team with Hungary and Bulgaria. I can say that your team plays in a disciplined manner, aspires to quickly turn into a counterattack. Both in attack and in defense, the players try to play well. Against such an opponent is difficult to play.

- Kazakhstan has a young team. But, nevertheless, who would you stand out from the main line-up as an obvious leader?

-  I never do this, and I will stick to my principle. All the necessary information about the players of the national team of Kazakhstan, I explained my players. I always evaluate the team as a whole.

- Matches of two teams, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, have recently become more frequent. Despite the fact that this is just a friendly match, what are you expecting from this match?

- We take the field in every match with a goal to win. When you often play against one team, perhaps some principledness appears. Many players of our team will play against your team not for the first time. If the opponent is familiar, try not to admit those mistakes that were earlier. Principity even increases when you know your opponent well, so we a have combative mood. We will only play to win.
