May we present ... Neftchi Bakou - Preview on the game

Neftchi Baku from Azerbeidjan arrived in Belgium yesterday. Neftchi-coach Aghsalim Miravadov doesn't know anything about RSC Anderlecht. He never saw Sporting playing, not even on TV.


"We'll play like we normally do against Anderlecht. We come to attack and we're not happy with a draw. Anderlecht are dangerous, but we go fot the qualification."

My impression about Brussels? "It's cold and wet here and out plane had 3 hours delay", joked Miravadov. It will be a hard game for Neftchi, a team with no professional football players. Striker Mishura, who scored twice against Hafnarfjördur, is a farmer in daily life.

The average age of the team is 26 years. There are two foreigners player for Neftchi. It'st he 8th time that this club is playing European football. They never got past the qualification rounds. In their own country, Neftchi won 4 titles and 5 cups. Their colours are black and white. The star player is the Georgian striker Georgi Adamia.
