The head coach of our national team, Fernando Santos, did not call Sumgayit's goalkeeper Mehdi Jannatov to the national team. However, unlike other goalkeepers invited by the Portuguese expert, Jannatov played in the last 2 rounds of the Azerbaijan Premier League, and kept his goal untouched in both matches. In this case, the question arises: why didn't Santos send an invitation to the local goalkeeper who is currently in the best form?
The head coach of our national team expressed a strange opinion at today's press conference regarding Mehdi Jannatov's failure to receive an invitation to the national team: "Mehdi could not receive an invitation to the national team because he has problems with his passport."
Jannatov has been playing in our country for many years and has the status of a local football player, he has an Azerbaijani passport. In this case, what kind of passport problem could he have? Or if there was a problem, why wasn't it resolved in time?
Idman.biz reports that Zaur Khudiyev, the head of the press service of Sumgayit, answered the question of Futbolxeber.az about this. The club official noted that this is not a matter for Sumgayit: "I inquired about this issue. It was noted that this issue has nothing to do with the Sumgayit club. You can address your questions to AFFA."
In fact, Fernando Santos' claim about the passport is not credible. Because the Portuguese has not invited Mehdi Jannatov before, even when he was in good shape. That is, this is not the first such case.
