Maris Verpakovskis: "It won't be easy for Latvia because the backbone of the Azerbaijani national team is made up of 'Qarabağ' players"

"Paolo Nicolato has been coaching Latvia for the second year. I like his working style. But the result of his work will be known at the end of the World Cup qualifying round. Last year, no results were expected because he was a new coach, but this year the situation is different."

İdman.biz reports that Maris Verpakovskis, a living legend of Latvian football who once played for the "Baku" club, said this in his statement to Sports.az about the friendly match to be held today with our national team.

The player who scored the most goals in the history of the Latvian national team said that the Baltic representative will enter the field with an experimental squad: "The Italian specialist has called some football players who have not played for the national team before for the game against Azerbaijan. There will be several debuts in the Latvian national team today. Our squad is a bit experimental. Because, in 3 days, we have a very important game with Albania within the framework of the World Cup qualifying round. It will be interesting to watch the new players in the national team.

In principle, our head coach has invited those who play well in the championship. Let's see how they will look at the national level.

As for the Azerbaijani national team, the basis of your team is made up of "Qarabağ" players who have been successful in European Cups for years. Therefore, it will not be easy for Latvia."
