"We are playing away. From the first minutes, we need to play more cautiously and try to score so that the team gains confidence later."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Arif Asadov, the former head coach of the Azerbaijani national team, in his statement to Futbolinfo.az, while talking about the team's match with Iceland in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
The 55-year-old expert noted that it is possible to return from the away match with a favorable result: "Our national team will play its first official match. We are in a difficult group. All three opponents - Iceland, Ukraine and France have different game philosophies. Iceland has its own unique playing style. They prefer more athletic football, skillfully use standard situations and are strong in dual fights. The national team must take all this into account. Overall, no matter how difficult the opponent is, it is possible to take points from this team. I believe that our team will cope with this and win at least one point."
