Toral Bayramov: The Azerbaijan national team should not be in its current position

"I think the team should not be in its current position. The national team has good enough potential."

This was stated by Toral Bayramov, the football player of the Azerbaijani national team and "Qarabağ", in an interview with sportnet.az.

We present that interview.

- What do you think about the "FIFA Series - 2026" tournament?

I think this tournament will be useful for us. We have prepared well as a team, and our mood is high. Although the games are friendly, we will go to every match to win. We haven't been able to win for a long time and we want to get out of this dark streak. We will do our best for this.

- Your first opponent is the Saint Lucia team. What are your thoughts on this team?

- The opponent's name should not deceive us. We have watched some of their games and will analyze them again. I don't think anyone in our team looks down on the opponent. Among the teams participating in this tournament, for example, Oman seemed stronger due to its name. But football is full of surprises. Maybe they wouldn't be able to reach the final. Our main goal is to win.

- How do you assess your chances in the League of Nations?

- I think the team should not be in its current position. The national team has good enough potential. I believe that the bad days will be left behind and we will get a ticket to League C again.

- "Qarabağ" performed successfully in the Champions League this season. However, there is a big difference in results between the club and the national team. What is the reason for this?

- The club and the national team are completely different environments, it would not be correct to compare them. Desires and approaches are different. We also want to achieve good results in the national team and try to get rid of negative thoughts.

- What are your thoughts on the role of legionnaires in Qarabağ's success?

- I don't think success is only related to legionnaires. The legionnaire limit has also been removed this season. But in previous years, we also had successful performances in the Europa League with 8-9 local football players.

- Can the possibility of changing the champion in the Premier League this season be related to the legionnaire limit?

- I talked a little about the club. But now I'm stopping and I don't want to comment on it.
