"I am ready to compete in every sense. I am not afraid of competition either. I will do what is right."
This was stated by Abbas Huseynov, defender of "Qarabagh" and the Azerbaijani national team, in an interview with sportal.az.
We present the interview:
– The games of the Azerbaijani national team in the cycle have ended. The national team took the last place with one point. Did you think it would be different when the cycle started?
- Yes, we finished the cycle with 1 point. But we fought, we did our best. I believe that in the future we will go out to win every game.
– What were the differences between the national team led by Fernando Santos and the team coached by Aykhan Abbasov?
- It wouldn't be right if I criticized Fernando Santos. Because he was also my head coach in the national team. He played me in the squad and gave me a chance. But I can say that we understood Aykhan Abbasov better and played better in every sense. Because he knows Azerbaijani football players. He spoke correctly with everyone and explained in detail.
– You also lost to Iceland and France in the last two matches of the cycle. Was it possible to get a result in these matches?
- We had real scoring chances in the match with Iceland. We just couldn't bring it to the end. It's a pity. But we have to look ahead. I believe that everything will be fine. The match against France was difficult. But we still did our best. You know that the players of the French national team are at a different level. This is the reality. However, in any case, we fought to the end.
– More often, the questions "Why is Abbas Huseynov playing?" were on the agenda. Why do you think your name was mentioned? After all, most football players in the national team do not play in their club...
- I don't want to comment on this.
– What can you say about Aykhan Abbasov's chances of staying in his post in the national team? Will our national team be able to rise from Division D to Division C in the League of Nations under his leadership?
- Yes, I think we can rise from Division D to League C. God willing, we will do it.
– Do you want to change the team in winter to gain more playing practice, or will you stay in "Qarabagh" and compete for the main squad?
- I am ready to compete in every sense. I am not afraid of competition either. I will do what is right.
– As far as I know, "Aris", "Apoel", "Akron" clubs wanted you. Did you reject the offer of those clubs?
- Yes, there was such a conversation. But I don't want to talk much about it.
– "Qarabagh" is waiting for a match against "Napoli" in the 5th round of the Champions League. What do you think about this match?
- I have a very good opinion about this meeting. I have great faith in our team. We will go to Naples for a successful result. We will do our best to achieve a successful result.
