Jorge Sampaoli (OM coach, 3-1 winner of Qarabag): “It was complicated.
In the first half we didn't play well and in the second we didn't play at all.
It's a match where we were collectively dominated.
I was not surprised, we knew this team quite well.
It has international players, a very good collective game.
We knew it and tonight we were overwhelmed.
Without our efficiency, the result would have been different.
There is sadness for the goal conceded but Qarabag deserved to score it.
There has been a rotation and the possibility of seeing players come in gives us the peace of mind of knowing that we can count on everyone.
We have to make sure everyone is ready to play.
For Milik, I do
didn't see what you're talking about (the Pole hit a bottle when he changed, editor's note).
We pay attention to timings and game times. We have to make sure that everyone is in good shape.
There were changes planned, related to the upcoming matches.
We have a plan.
My relationship with him is the same as with everyone else.
We are professionals, he is a work colleague, the relationship is the same as with all the players.
Pol Lirola (OM defender): “It's not a sufficient result to be sure of qualifying.
We saw how the game went.
It will be a complicated match and we will have to give everything.
We have a two-goal lead but we have to be careful.
We suffered, especially in the first half, but we stuck together.
Those who entered the team today have been very good.
We have a very busy schedule but we are prepared, we worked well after the Christmas break.
Physically we are fine.
All players are ready to respond.
Right now I'm playing my position, in a line of four.
I feel better, physically and in the game.
