Iskandar Javadov: We all have a share in the failure, it would not be right to put all the responsibility on Santos

"The continuation of the national team's winless streak is disappointing for everyone. We all expect success from the team. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work out."

Idman.biz reports that Iskandar Javadov said these words in his statement to Sport24.az.

A well-known figure in the country's football answered the question "Who is responsible for the failure?" as follows: "Who is to blame? We all have a share in the failure. It would not be right to put all the responsibility on Fernando Santos in this matter. Yes, the head coach is responsible for the result everywhere. But let's not forget the players either. They are the ones who go on the field. In modern football, quality solves everything. The head coach tactically prepares the team for the game and analyzes the opponent and gives the necessary instructions. The players are the ones who have to implement the instructions on the field. Although we had goal opportunities in the match with Latvia, we could not put the final point. The head coach or his assistant shouldn't do that... Or how right is it to hang Santos for the individual mistakes of the defenders? The Portuguese also does not have a wide choice. He invited almost all of the prominent locals to the national team. Even if we invite someone else to the "helm" instead of Santos today, he will have to work with the same players."

The football veteran, in addition to expressing his attitude to the success of neighboring countries, also spoke about the problems of our football: "Today, everyone is talking about the success of Georgia and Uzbekistan. I assure you that we also have talented football players. We just need to direct them correctly and approach the work correctly. Again, they will say that children's football comes to mind as soon as there is failure. No matter how bitter it is, we must admit that there is a deficiency in this area. The foundation must be laid correctly. The coaches working in the field of children's football must work on themselves every day and adapt to the requirements of modern football. "Just saying "I read today and I have a category" does not end the job."
