"We tried to do everything we could, even what we couldn't, but unfortunately, we lost."
These words were shared by Azerbaijani national football player Toral Bayramov after the match they lost to France in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup:
The experienced football player shared his thoughts on the game:
"Our opponent was France. We need to get used to the pace. There aren't that many attacks in our championship. It was a good game for our future. What about the match with Ukraine? We will think about it starting tonight. We will do our best to show a persistent fight. Playing in different positions is not difficult for me. Whatever position the head coach assigns me, I play there with all my heart. I mainly think about benefiting my team."
