Ilgar Mansimov, the head coach of "Sabah" U-14 team, shared his impressions about winning the "Qonaev City Cup" international tournament held in the city of Konayev, Kazakhstan.
Idman.biz reports that the specialist spoke about this to "Report".
"The impact of any international tournament on children is enormous. This tournament also created very pleasant impressions among team members. For us, more important than the result here was that the children gained playing experience abroad and tested themselves in different environments. The participation of young football players in such tournaments, getting acquainted and communicating with their peers from other countries, and encountering different playing styles play an important role in their development. Of course, the championship is also pleasing and valuable in any case," he said.
Mansimov emphasized that he was satisfied with the team: "I was completely satisfied with both the behavior of the children and their performance on the field throughout the tournament. They demonstrated both team culture and a professional approach on the field. The "Sabah" Football Academy has always supported the participation of lower age groups in international tournaments. Other teams are also expected to participate in various international tournaments in the future."
It should be noted that "Sabah" became the champion by defeating the local "OSDYSH Konayev" team with a score of 9:0 in the final match of the tournament.
