In the second round of the mini-football world championship in Baku, with the participation of 32 teams, the Azerbaijani national team met with the Slovenian national team in Group A. The match ended with a 4:0 victory for our national team. Sport24.az reports that after the game, the head coach of our national team, Elshad Guliyev, answered journalists' questions:
- I congratulate our fans, those who love us. I believe we gave them a good day. Better games await us.
- Were you expecting the victory?
- We have prepared a lot for these games. This is our game system. The stands were full in the first match. It is possible that the children had some problems. After that, we will play all the games like this. We are one of the favorite teams of the World Championship.
- What can you say about the fans?
- They were great. Thank you to everyone.
- Did today's victory show that the draw in the first match was accidental?
- The strength of our team is not this, it is higher. Better games await us. If we prepare like this for every match, the victory will continue.
- Today, one of the goals was scored by Kamran Abdullazade, a former football player of "Khazar Lankaran". Do you have high expectations from him?
- Kamran is a good football player. We have been inviting him for more than a year. He plays both mini-football for "Zira" and in the national team. He is a football player with high potential. I wouldn't want such football players to move away from big football. It is nice that a player who played for "Khazar Lankaran" helps the national team. He can do better.
- How do you assess the opponents?
- This is the World Championship. The opponents are really strong. Stronger opponents are ahead. If we are complacent, everyone can score points. Today we saw that the Chad national team defeated the last world champion. You have to put your soul on the field to win.
