A press conference was organized with the participation of our team's head coach Laurențiu Reghecampf and captain Emin Mahmudov before UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round match between "Neftchi" - "Aris" which will be held at "Bakcell Arena" on July 28 at 21:00.

The thoughts of the head coach was as follows: "We analyzed the first leg match defeat in Cyprus. We have one target in tomorrow's match, we have to enter the pitch and show that the result in the first leg match was coincidence. We respect Aris, but we will do everything we can to come back in match tomorrow. We will try to win and qualify to the next round both for ourselves and our fans."

Then Emin Mahmudov stated: "I think there is no need to talk much about the importance of this match. Compared to the first match, we should be more willing and aggressive tomorrow. We only think about victory. "Aris" is a good, aggressive team. We have to show a better game for qualifying to the next round."

Later, the captain answered the questions of media representatives: "It is possible to come back from 0:2 score. We believe in it and we will try to do it. We have known the coach for 3-4 weeks, but we still haven't been able to play exactly the way he wants. Moreover, we have not fully adapted to the new players. Over time, we will get to know each other better and do exactly what the coach wants. Now we need result. We all understand the importance of this match. That's why we are so well tuned. We will do our best to win."

Afterwards, Laurențiu Reghecampf answered the questions: "Now we know the opponent better. In the first match, there were big chances creation by both "Aris" and us. There was even a penalty episode in our favor, but it was not given. In addition, the opponent's center back with a yellow card should have received a second yellow card for fouling our goalkeeper and should have been sent off, but it did not happen. It was normal for Aris to press because they were playing at home. We will try to do the same thing tomorrow. I have a lot of confidence in my team and I believe that tomorrow they will get a good result with showing good performance. I want to declare to "Neftchi" fans that tomorrow we will fight on the field.We have nothing to lose. In the first 20 minutes of the second half of the first match, we almost slept on the field, conceding two goals. To be honest, we should have conceded the third goal in the last minutes. I think in that case it would be more difficult to make a comeback than it is now. This is a sign to me. I try to give the right tasks to my players. I tried to show them the mistakes all week. We will do our best to play well and make a comeback tomorrow. I can't say from now that we will score 5 goals, but we will do our best to achieve our target. Of course, all transfers were made by the club management, sports director, selection department - all of us together. Since we had short time, we couldn't look at more options. I think we made the right choices and they will be good for "Neftchi".
