"Since I was in Slovakia for a few days regarding the UEFA Pro course, I joined the team yesterday morning. The children's perseverance and character in the game against Moldova are commendable. True, there were some gaps in the defense. Nevertheless, the team managed to show perseverance and win in the end."
Idman.biz reports that Aqil Nabiyev, the head coach of the Azerbaijan national team consisting of football players under 16 years old, told the AFFA press service after the test match (3:2) against the Moldovan team of the corresponding age group.
The specialist emphasized his confidence in his team: "We have a team with great potential and promising future. We are achieving good results with both the U-16 and U-17 national teams. I hope that we will be able to continue this with the U-17 in the qualifying round games. The development of the children is obvious. If there are more training camps, we can achieve faster development and achieve great success."
The head coach also explained the reason why the team conceded a goal immediately after taking the lead twice: "Conceding a goal immediately after taking the lead was due to a concentration problem. Lack of time bothered us a lot. Since some teams in the leagues did not qualify for the play-off stage, some of our players who played there had not played for a long time. This led to them not being fully physically prepared. But I trust my team. Great things can be achieved with this team in the future."
Aqil Nabiyev said that they will try to win the second test match against the Moldovan national team on June 21: "We only have one day between the two games. We started working on the recovery of the children immediately after yesterday's match. We also made as many substitutions as possible during the match so that we can use some of the players in tomorrow's match. Our goal is to show a fighting game and win again."
