"I don't think it was a bad result."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Aykhan Abbasov, the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team consisting of football players under the age of 21, at a press conference after the friendly match (0:0) with the Montenegrin national team at the Sumgayit city stadium named after Mehdi Huseynzade.
He first thanked the fans who supported the team and continued his thoughts: "It was great to perform in this city. The two games we held within the framework of the training camp were designed to prepare for the upcoming official matches. Today, my players showed their skills."
According to Abbasov, they could have not lost in the away match with Belarus either: "Our team had a majority of children from a lower age group compared to the opponent. This makes us happy and allows us to look to the future with optimism. We are still at the beginning of the work. How the players perform will depend on their playing in their clubs. It is easier for us when they come to the national team ready. We have the game we want. A positive change is felt compared to the Antalya training camp. The main thing is that the players know what to do on the field. The short-term development makes me happy."
It should be noted that U-21 held its first test match against the Belarusian national team (1:3) on the road within the framework of the training camp.
