As a team, we will try to represent our country properly both on and off the field. We want to unite as one fist and achieve good results with the right approach and team spirit. Azerbaijani fans have always been with the national team. Their support is a great source of motivation for us. In the upcoming matches, we will try to show a decent game and give hope for the future."
