"To be completely honest, all three are very important players for our national team. It will inevitably have an impact."
This was stated by former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, Fuzuli Mammadov, in an interview with sportal.az.
We present that interview:
- The Azerbaijani national team will face Iceland. What do you expect from the match in Baku against the opponent we lost 0:5 to in this cycle?
- Our national team suffered a disastrous defeat in Reykjavik. This match is very important for the opponent. Because they must win to have a chance in the match against Ukraine and enter that match as a final game. Considering the games after Aykhan Abbasov's arrival, there is a significant rise in our national team. Let me tell you what the rise is. Plan, scheme, the determination of the players, fighting spirit on the field. This gives hope that I believe in the successful performance of our national team. I hope that our national team will perform successfully in front of their home fans and will not lose to the Icelanders. If there are no gross mistakes in the first minutes, if the opponent cannot score, our national team can catch and punish the Icelanders in counter-attacks, and even win.
- Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev, Mahir Emreli, Elvin Jafarguliyev will not be there. What do you think about the current squad of the national team? Can their absence affect?
- To be completely honest, all three are very important players for our national team. It will inevitably have an impact. Because they are experienced players. Their absence disappoints us. I also read what Aykhan muellim said at the press conference. He said that this will inevitably create a small problem. But he is already a very knowledgeable coach about Azerbaijani football players. I think he will try to overcome these. In recent matches, Salahat Aghayev's performance also shows that he is in good shape. Aykhan muellim will be able to eliminate the deficiency.
- Do you think that Rufat Abdullazade, who was newly invited to the national team, will be given a chance in the Iceland or France match? He is in the same position as Mahir Emreli...
- If Aykhan muellim invited him to the national team, it means that the football player is in good shape. Mahir Emreli and Musa Gurbanli are also not there. If he has been invited to the national team, it means that every football player has a chance to play. Rufat is a good football player, one of the players I like. He must be ready every minute. If given a chance, he must support his team with his performance.
- Do you think that there has been progress in the game of our national team or in any details in the 3 matches under the leadership of Aykhan Abbasov? Is it realistic for us to get a total of how many points or any points at all from the Iceland and France matches?
- Changes are felt in the national team after Aykhan muellim's arrival. He divides the team's strength correctly. After analyzing the opponents, he chooses a game plan and the players perform on the field according to that plan. The players are now more willing, more combative on the field. They fight for every ball. This is a quality that comes from the Azerbaijani coach's approach to Azerbaijani football players, knowing them better. Of course, the change is clearly felt. I hope our team will win this game.
- Presumably, the main goal to be set for the national team under the leadership of Aykhan Abbasov will be to move up from Division D to Division C in the League of Nations? Is the current squad sufficient to do this?
- To be completely honest, I have no information about what goal has been set for Aykhan muellim. But I hope that our national team will show better games in the upcoming matches. I wish our national team success.
