"We have very difficult games ahead of us against France and Iceland. We will do our best to achieve good results and make our people happy."
These words were said by Toral Bayramov, the midfielder of "Qarabağ" and the Azerbaijani national team.
The 24-year-old football player spoke about receiving an invitation to the matches with France and Iceland in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, and touched upon the possibility of fatigue, taking into account "Qarabağ's" busy game schedule:
"This is our job. We try to gather all our strength. We love our work. We are not regretful or dissatisfied with anything. The more games we play, the more beneficial it is for us. I don't think there will be any problem," he said in a statement to "teleqraf".
Bayramov also commented on the 2:0 victory over "Neftchi" in the XI round of the Azerbaijan Premier League: "Our opponent was "Neftchi". You should never underestimate them. They are a very well-organized team and they prove it with their games. They also performed well in the last matches. They also wanted to win, so the fight was interesting. The main thing is that we won. I thank the fans of both teams - there was a very nice atmosphere. We correctly fulfilled the important tasks and won important 3 points. Now we will look at the upcoming games, we will try to maintain and improve our game even more."
