"We really wanted to win. We haven't won for a long time." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Azerbaijani national team footballer Musa Gurbanli.
The striker shared his thoughts on the game against Saint Lucia (6:1) in the "FIFA Series – 2026" international tournament:
"We are happy. The national team is such that every victory is important, regardless of who the opponent is. It was also a high-scoring victory. It was very important for us."
Gurbanli also spoke about ending the team's winless streak:
"We really wanted to win. It was important. That's why we are happy. It was an interesting and high-scoring game. These were necessary for official matches."
The player, who distinguished himself in the match, said that he always tries to play better:
"You can always play better. I scored, but I could have played better. The main thing is to benefit the team."
He added that they will also go out to win the next match:
"We will work for this. The matches are important for the next official games. We must look at our preparation."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team will face the same Sierra Leone on March 30.
