First of all, I congratulate "Qarabag" on the victory and wish them success in the next stage.
Axar.az reports that the head coach of Polish Lex John van den Brom said this at a press conference after the return match of the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, where they lost to Qarabag 1:5 in Baku.
The 56-year-old specialist said that the team led by him could have called the stage:
"We had a reason for that. But the game was unsuccessful. We made a lot of mistakes. Unfortunately, there were referee mistakes. The sideline referees did not register an offside situation in at least 3 episodes. But this should not be an excuse. "Qarabag" played well today. and surpassed us in terms of quality".
According to the head coach of the Netherlands, the defeat does not matter: "But 1:5 is a big score. We have never had such a defeat in our experience. Some nuances should be taken into account. The score was only due to the opponent's excellent game display."
Van den Brom said that he did not want to emphasize any mistake: "We applied the tactics of the first match this time as well. It's just that something didn't go right. As I said, "Garabagh" played very well. Here we can only talk about the opponent's quality game."
