"The atmosphere in the team is very good. The players are motivated and eager".
Idman.biz reports from Reykjavik that this was said by AFFA Secretary General Jahangir Farajullayev before the match against Iceland within the framework of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round.
He stated that they want to start the cycle well: "I think it will be so. We have no demands on the team. They should set demands for themselves. I think they do. We all expect a good game and a good result".
According to Farajullayev, the motivation in the team is good for a successful result: "It is not right to make promises in football. The issue of rewards is internal to the team. What do we need? If motivation is needed, then it already exists. Pessimistic thinking is absolutely not allowed. If we had a bad opinion about head coach Fernando Santos, he would not be here. So, we only think positively. The AFFA president met with the team and took an interest in their concerns. There were good discussions".
It should be noted that the Iceland - Azerbaijan game will start today at 22:45.
