Azer Salahli: "I was expecting a call-up to the national team, my main goal is to return"

"Zira" is one of the teams that can be in the top three, we knew this well."

These words were said by Azer Salahli, the captain of "Imishli".

He evaluated the game against "Zira", which was the last match of 2025.

"They play beautiful football. It was a difficult game. We tried to find chances in counterattacks. We drew, I think it shouldn't be considered a bad result against a team like "Zira". We also drew in the first round. We play compactly. Our main advantage is that we can play as a team," he said in a statement to sportal.az.

The captain of the regional club evaluated the first half of the season for "Imishli": "During this period, we also had one technical defeat. Although we won that game as well. In my opinion, there were games where we showed good football, there were also penalties that we couldn't use. I think we could have collected more points than we have now. Anyway, considering that it is the first season, it is not a bad result. We are looking forward."

Salahli is waiting for an offer from the Azerbaijan national team: "To be honest, I was expecting to be invited to the last gathering of the Azerbaijan national team. But it didn't happen. One of my main goals is to return to the national team. I am doing my best."
