"Playing for the national team is the peak for every Azerbaijani football player. It is possible that this stage will also bring new opportunities to my club life. Time will tell. But right now, all my attention is on the national team and my main goal is to be as useful as possible. I have to work harder and make the most of the given opportunity".
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by "Shamakhi" football player Jalal Huseynov in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
The 22-year-old defender thanked the coaches who trusted him: "First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Aykhan Abbasov. He trusted me when no one believed in me, and invited me to the team. He even gave me a chance when I was not in ideal form. I was expecting an invitation and I am very happy to be back in the national team after a long break. Wearing the national uniform is a great pride. My goal is to gain a permanent place in this team. Of course, being in the national team requires a different responsibility and spirit. You have to be more serious and work hard as a professional so that you can wear this uniform continuously".
The young football player also commented on the upcoming friendly matches with Latvia and Hungary: "Two interesting matches await us. Frankly, I don't have much information about Latvia. But during the training camp, we will analyze them more closely. Hungary is a team with well-known and quality football players. They have come a long way in recent years. They have good, star football players playing in top leagues. We will do our best to win these games and make our fans happy".
Huseynov also shared his thoughts on the national team's head coach, Fernando Santos, and emphasized that he believes they will put an end to the series of failures: "It is true that we have not yet won under the leadership of Santos. But such difficulties also occur in other national teams and clubs. We just need to prepare more seriously and put all our strength to end this series. Santos is a coach with great experience. The system doesn't matter - wherever and whenever I am given a chance, I will try to show my skills to the maximum and adapt to the team quickly".
Finally, he touched on his motivation in the national team: "Right now, I need to work harder on myself and improve. We have to give our all for the national team. This is the responsibility of not only me, but all my teammates - everyone who is invited and not invited. I believe we will handle this properly".
