István Sallói's quick reaction to the ECL draw

"In the summer of 2016, I was in Gyirmot for the meeting when Gabala beat MTK in the Europa League qualifiers, and then the Azeris won at home to qualify with a double victory, and even beat Lille and Maribor to reach the group stage. Azerbaijani clubs in general have always been known for their preference to sign Brazilian players, and Gabala have a number of talented foreign players on their books. As Michael Boris said, we started our preparations so early in order to get the team in the right condition for the first match and our goal is to qualify for the next round." - said our sporting director István Sallói in the minutes after the draw.
