"We have been together since March 20 and are preparing. Our trainings are also going very well. Today we will go to our last training session before the game with Portugal. We think it will be a good game. We also know the strength of the Portuguese national team. God willing, everything will be fine for us." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Oruc Mammadov, a member of our U-21 national team.
He answered journalists' questions before the match against Portugal tomorrow as part of the EURO-2027 qualifying round.
- Are you afraid of the Portuguese national team, or on the contrary, are you more motivated to show yourself?
- We have played against this kind of opponent. We have experience. We will try to win a point or points.
- You also play in "Shamakhi" under the leadership of Aykhan Abbasov. Were you expecting an invitation from the A national team, or is it better to play regularly in the U-21 national team than to sit on the bench?
- Everyone's goal is to go to the A national team. Frankly, I was expecting an invitation from the main national team. But the coaching staff thought it was appropriate to play here. I respect any decision.
