Goalkeeper Nargiz Aliyeva was one of those who made an exceptional contribution to the successful results of the Azerbaijani national team in the current League of Nations.
Idman.biz reports that the 23-year-old goalkeeper attracted attention with her high performance in both matches against Montenegro (0:0, 1:1) and in the away match against Lithuania (2:0).
In particular, her saves in the last minutes of the match against the Montenegrin national team in Nikšić played a major role in our national team winning an important 1 point.
Nargiz Aliyeva, who lives as a legionnaire in the Turkish club "Fatih Vatan", will also have a big job to do in the last match against Lithuania. The goalkeeper said in an interview with the AFFA press service that she believes she will cope with this.
- You will play your last game against Lithuania in the group stage of the League of Nations. What can be expected from this match?
- We are only thinking about winning the match against Lithuania. As a team, we are just focused on that. Our only thought is to win 3 points.
- Since it is a decisive meeting, there is great interest. Does this factor give the team extra motivation, or does it have a negative psychological effect?
- Yes, we will play our last game in the group. As in previous matches, we are preparing for this match with high motivation. In my opinion, there is no negative psychological effect.
- Montenegro has a slight advantage before the last games. Looking at the previous matches in the group, which result disappointed you the most?
- The result that disappointed us was the away match against Montenegro. We were very close to winning, but we conceded a goal in the last minutes. This caused us to lose 2 points.
- Although you missed the victory at the last moment in that meeting, you won everyone's sympathy with your consecutive saves. Where did this self-confidence come from?
- I think I was confident because I love my job and I am very eager to do it. I want to benefit my team by performing like this in all games.
- In the match against Lithuania, it will be important not only to score a lot of goals, but also not to concede a goal. Do you consider yourself ready for this?
- Of course, it is important not to concede a goal. But this is football, sometimes you score, sometimes you concede. As for me, I feel completely ready.
- Usually, children who are new to football want to score goals. How did you choose the goalkeeper position?
- I chose to be a goalkeeper because it was difficult for me to run (laughs). But now I can say that standing in goal is more difficult. Because the goalkeeper has a great responsibility.
- I guess you follow world football. Who is your childhood idol?
- Yes, I follow it. Like many, I also have an idol. This is the German goalkeeper of the "Barcelona" club, Mark-Andre ter Stegen.
- You are currently living as a legionnaire in Turkey. What is your biggest goal regarding your club career?
- I have difficulty mentioning a specific name. But my goal is to play in one of the best clubs.
- What is your biggest dream related to the national team?
- Like every Azerbaijani, my dream is to wear the national uniform with dignity, protect the honor of this team for many years and leave a good mark.
