In my opinion, "Aktobe" received a passable opponent. Champions of Kazakhstan acquired several strong legionaries, and the squad overall is far superior than Champions of Georgia’s is. If the club's goal is to get into the group stage of the UEFA club competition, such clubs shall pass. Of course, the Georgian players have always had an extraordinary technique and innovative thinking, but I still believe in the success of West Kazakhstani team.
As for clubs that represent Kazakhstan in the Europa League, having such financial opportunities, you have to beat your upcoming opponents. All of these clubs are in good condition and possess the leading positions in the Premier League. It is worth noting that all the representatives from Kazakhstan in European cup competitions came until the semifinals stage of the National Cup.
Soon, millions of football fans in Kazakhstan will passionately support their clubs in the Old World, and I'm sure this support will give Kazakhstanis additional strength. I believe that the joy of goals will give us even more unforgettable emotions than the World Cup matches in Brazil.
Alga, Kazakhstan!
