At the Republican Stadium named after Tofy Bahramov, a press conference was held by the head coach of the French “Nantu” Antoine Kombuare and midfielder Louis Blyas, dedicated to tomorrow’s game with Karabakh as part of the 2nd round of the group of the Europa League. Recall, the meeting will begin at 20:45.
“Are we not afraid of the 30,000th stands in Azerbaijan? – answers the question of combirry asked by French journalists. – I have never seen the fans win the match. There will be football players on the field. We know that” Karabakh “is the famous team And tomorrow, in connection with the latest military events, she will play with special zeal. But we will do everything to show a good game.
We watched the previous games “Karabakh”. We know how much experience this team has. Football players are very easy to attack, play the attack well. It is no coincidence that Karabakh scored so many goals in this European Cup season. We are preparing to beat off attacks and create our own.
We understand that tomorrow Karabakh will have a huge motivation for well -known reasons. But we came here to play football and do not think about anything else.
For us there is no difference between games of the French championship and European competitions. When you win in the championship, then it is easier to play in Europe.
Louis Plaas said the following:
“The long road to Baku did not become a problem for us. We arrived early to adapt. All football players are ready.
The transition from the championship to European competitions is not difficult for us. Yes, after playing with Olympiacos there were some difficulties, but we are ready.
When we play at home, we are calmer. Fans help us. Visiting is more difficult. I think that everything is in our heads.
What we often play should not be justifying possible failures for us. We are professional football players, and this is our work.
Discomfort in connection with the latest events between Azerbaijan and Armenia? We are football players and came here to play football. Nothing more.
After the last game with Olympiacos, we should show that we won no coincidence. “
