"It was a difficult game. I think we did our best to win."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev, the goalkeeper of the Azerbaijani national team, in his statement to apasport.az.
He touched on the support of the fans:
"Our fans fill the stadium in every game. We want to make them happy. You can see for yourself that only 3-4 players in the starting "11" play in the main squad of their teams. It is very difficult to play like this against the French national team."
The goalkeeper also said that his injury has become chronic:
"My injury has already become chronic. Even though I am injured, I try to play. Today, with the help of an injection, I tried to participate in the match with almost one leg. Even if there is pain, I play. But I had no strength left in the second half."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan-France match ended with a 3:1 victory for the guests.
