A press conference was organized with the participation of our team's head coach Laurențiu Reghecampf and defender Azer Salahli before UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round match between "Neftçi" - "Rapid" which will be held at "Bakcell Arena" on August 4 at 21:00.

Head coach expressed his opinions: "We have a very important match tomorrow. We try to make a step for next round with showing very good game. We try to win. We know that it will be difficult, because our rival is very good. However, I believe in my team, the atmosphere in the stadium and good performance of my players."

Then Azer Salahli stated: "Of course, atmosphere of team is very good. Because, we got nice victory. But we left this victory behind. Our attention is maximally focused on tomorrow's match."

Afterwards, Laurențiu Reghecampf answered the questions: "Rapid is very difficult rival, fight very good. It will not be easy match for us. However, we are very well prepared. I hope that players will be able to show the self-confidence and struggle they showed in the match against "Aris" tomorrow. We are all very motivated. We have to maintain the level in the "Aris" match. We must fight in the same way. I hope that at the end of 90 minutes we will have won. I have not seen many games of Mert Celik. He joined our camp yesterday. Welcome him. We know he is good player. He must compete with players playing in the same position and make his place in the starting XI. He needs some time to adapt to new players. I am very happy that Mert joined us, because we needed another player in that position. As a team, we are fully concentrating on tomorrow's match. If there is a need to bring in a strong player who can improve our level, we will do it. If we want to bring in any Romanian footballer that fits our budget, we will do it. We analyze players according to the position we need, not by nationality. If there is a player who suits us in all aspects, we will transfer him to the team, regardless of his nationality." ".
