A big victory was a great stimulus for the next games.
Araz-Nakhchivan played its first game yesterday in the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League. Thanks to the 9:1 victory, our representative is currently the leader of Group F. Ulvi Aliyev, who scored a double in the match with Sparta Belfast, gave an interview to azfutzal.az about both the match and the team's goals:
"We had good preparation, new futsal players were invited to update our squad. In short, we came to Austria fully prepared. Our first opponent was also well analyzed. More precisely, the head coach explained to us in training how we should play against them. By the way, we started the preliminary round of the Champions League with a game against them last year as well. In the first game, there is some excitement and adaptation problems. The important thing was to win, because mistakes are not forgiven in such tournaments. A big victory was a great stimulus for the next games."
The futsal player also noted to whom he dedicated the goals he scored: "First of all, I tried to contribute to my team's victory and help. As for who I dedicate the goals to, I dedicate them to my family, who always supports me, is by my side, does not allow me to lose heart, and encourages me. They are my biggest supporters."
Sharing his opinion about the next opponents, the futsal player noted the importance of being careful: "As expected, the host team also won in the second game of the day yesterday. Despite the defeat, the Scottish champion also had several chances to stand out. Our head coach has analyzed both teams and will provide us with the necessary information. In any case, we must be careful and not look at the opponents through the prism of weak and strong. Because 3 points are given for each game. Again, I say, the points that will be lost as a result of momentary carelessness and mistake cannot be recovered. Of course, our goal is to advance to the main stage. For this, we must finish the preliminary stage as the leader. We must fulfill the task and achieve the goal."
