"The continuation of the national team's winless streak is disappointing for everyone. We all expect success from the national team. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet." Iskandar Javadov said this in his statement to Sport24.az.
The famous figure of the country's football answered the question "Who is responsible for the failure?" as follows:
"Who is to blame? We all share the blame for 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 out on the field. In modern football, quality solves everything. The head coach prepares the team tactically 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 scoring opportunities in the match with Latvia, we could not put the final point. The head coach or his assistant are not supposed to do that... Or to what extent is it right to crucify Santos for the individual mistakes of the defenders? The Portuguese does not have a wide choice. He has invited almost all the visible 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 successes of Georgia and Uzbekistan. I assure you that we also have talented football players. It is just necessary to direct them correctly and approach the work correctly. They will say again that children's football comes to mind as soon as there is a 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. "It is not enough to say "I read today and I have a category".
