"The main thing is to be psychologically ready. We were very tired in the match against France. We fought well. Tomorrow will be a good game as well."
Idman.Biz reports that this was said by Elvin Jafarquliyev, a football player of the Azerbaijani national team, at a press conference held before the match against the Ukrainian national team in Poland as part of the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
The defender stated that they are seriously preparing for the match: "Tomorrow we will play against a very strong team. We have received certain instructions and analyzed the opponent. We did not have much time to prepare for this game. But as a team, we have prepared well for tomorrow's match, fully concentrated, and will work for the maximum result."
The national team member, who came to Krakow after a difficult game with France, emphasized that they are working for the maximum result in a short time: "We don't have much time. But I think we have recovered well as a team. If we take the game with France, we will be even more tired in tomorrow's match. We know the opponent. We have a good team. Tomorrow we must perform both intelligently and confidently. The main thing is to get points from Ukraine. I put my own performance aside, the main thing is the team. We are motivated, we are confident. Tomorrow we have to fight a lot to get the result we want. There are very difficult teams in the group. Therefore, the points and victory we will gain tomorrow can change our place in the group. This also has its own motivation."
