Discussions have arisen around the non-invitation of Yusif Imanov to the national team, who had a problematic departure from the "Sabah" club at the beginning of the season. There have also been allegations that he was left out of the national team at the insistence of Maqsud Adigozalov, the president of "Sabah" and a member of the Executive Committee.
Idman.Biz reports that this issue was widely discussed in the "Futbolumuz" program.
Emin Abbasov, the expert of the program, expressed his views on Yusif Imanov's non-invitation to the national team as follows:
"Frankly, I was expecting Aykhan Abbasov to have a coherent answer regarding Yusif Imanov's non-invitation to the national team. But he also made the matter worse by answering the question with a question. I guess no one in the sports press knows Maqsud Adigozalov as much as I do. I was the sports director in "Sabah", I worked with Maqsud muellim for 2 years. Neither is Aykhan Abbasov such a coach that he accepts orders, nor is Maqsud Adigozalov such a person who would say that."
