Farid Abbasov: "We fought well in the match against Libya, we believed we would win"

"Azerbaijan's futsal team fought excellently in the match against Libya at the VI Islamic Solidarity Games."

Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by the futsal player of the national team, Farid Abbasov, in a statement to the press service of the Azerbaijan Futsal Federation:

Evaluating the match, Abbasov stated that this was their first game under the leadership of the current head coach:

"Each of us fought well on the field. We tried to ensure that both the result was good and that we stood out in the game plan. True, it was our first match at the Islamic Solidarity Games, so there were those who were nervous in the team. But we all believed that we would win. We did not consider the opponent weak, our confidence in ourselves was great. Of course, no victory is easy to achieve. The game was intense. We conceded easy goals from standard situations. This also has certain objective and subjective reasons."

The futsal player also commented on scoring a hat-trick in the match:

"This is my first such performance in the national team. Scoring a goal is important, but the main thing is to help the team, to be a part of its progress. We wanted the national team to contribute to this joy at a time when we are experiencing days of triumph."

It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team, coached by Yevgeni Kuksevich, defeated Libya 5:4 the previous day.
