"It was a difficult game."
Idman.biz reports with reference to Teleqraf that this was stated by Rahil Mammadov, a football player of "Araz-Nakhchivan", in his statement to journalists after the first match of the III qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, in which they lost 0:4 at home to Cyprus "Omonia".
The 30-year-old defender said that his team was tired: "Because we received a red card in the last game with Aris, and we also traveled a long way here from Greece."
He said that he believes in a comeback in the return match: "Anything is possible in football, I believe. We knew they were a tough opponent, it's football, it turned out that way. We will prepare for the return game."
Mammadov explained the reason for his departure from Polish Radomyak as follows: "I was going to change my club. "Araz-Nakhchivan" was the club that wanted me the most. I was well received in the team. I have known many of the players since the beginning."
He emphasized that he is always waiting for an invitation from the national team: "I always want to play in the national team. If I am in good shape and receive an invitation, I will go and help."
Mammadov also spoke about the opponents in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round: "Our opponents are teams that everyone knows about. We will give our best in these games. We will see in the games whether we are prepared or not. Things are not always good in football. There have also been fundamental changes in AFFA..."
He asked for support from the fans: "My performance may be a little low. I expect even better from myself. I thank the fans who have supported us so far, even though there are few of them. I accept their healthy criticism."
