"Araz-Nakhchivan" futsal club will test its strength in a test match with the Azerbaijani national team in preparation for the matches it will hold in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
This was stated by the team's head coach Yevgeny Kuksevich in his statement to "Report".
He said that they want to hold this meeting before leaving for Romania, where the group games will be organized: "We want to face the national team before leaving for the tournament. There is a time limit. Therefore, we can neither go abroad nor accept anyone. Since October, we have started preparations for both the Azerbaijan championship and the UEFA Champions League. We even held a 3-day training camp. Everything is fine. We are currently focusing all our attention on the competition."
The Russian expert said that he analyzed the opponents: "I analyzed their games and drew some conclusions for myself. The strengths of the opponents are known. Each of them is a team we can fight against. One of the difficulties is that we will play the first game against the hosts."
It should be noted that "Araz-Nakhchivan" will compete with "United Galati" (Romania), "Differdange 03" (Luxembourg) and "Tigers Roermond" (Netherlands) in Group VII of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League. The Azerbaijani representative will play its first match in the main stage against the Romanian club on October 29.
