“It is my first visit to Azerbaijan. But I do have information about the country” – says Eder Sarabia, coach of Spanish Villarreal, at a mass media briefing.

Formerly working for Athletic Bilbao and currently coaching in Villarreal for the last one year, the Spaniard thinks highly of the 1st Gabala Cup, as he talks to reporters about the tournament:

-- “I got information about Azerbaijan for the Eurovision 2012. And more details on the country I got from the Internet. The match of Spain against Azerbaijan provisional team also built up some clues to think.

Actually, I was not expecting such highly developed facilities to see here in Gabala. You have all for football progress.

I can not say special about any Gabala players in performances, but you got some much good defenders. Such conditions allow you to grow up talents, and you will be able to reach to results of your efforts if coaching proceedings go on in the right vain.

We gave some mistakes at the show against Brondby, which prevented our chances to get tally to the final. But it is common in such high-pressure schedules of matches”.
