"In the first half, we were able to withstand the opponent's intense attacks, did not leave gaps in defense, and built attacks." Sport24az reports that these words were said by the head coach of U-21, Rashad Eyyubov.
He commented on the match (0:5) against the Czech Republic national team in Karvina as part of the European Championship qualifying round:
"We conceded the first goal shortly before the break. However, until that moment, the opponent was not doing anything extraordinary. But in the second half, especially after the 55th minute, we could not withstand the intensity."
Eyyubov said that they have a maximum of 4-5 days to prepare for a match in the national team:
"Again, I don't think the problem is related to the physical condition. We are just having trouble competing at the same pace."
It should be noted that U-21 will hold its next match against Scotland at home on October 14.
