The Azerbaijani national minifootball team aims to win the European Championship held in Slovakia.
Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by the team captain Elvin Alizade.
In his statement to Report, he shared his thoughts on the victory in the last group stage match against France:
"It was the last game of the group stage. After 2 consecutive victories, the 3rd victory was very important. Because every success further increases motivation. It was possible to win by showing a good game".
E.Alizade also evaluated the Kazakhstan team, which they will face in the 1/8 finals:
"Kazakhstan, our next opponent, is a familiar team. There have been changes in their squad, new players have arrived. The main goal is to play based on the information that will be presented after the opponent is analyzed. Matches against Kazakhstan have always been difficult. In some cases, the luck factor has played a decisive role for them. But this year the preparations are at a higher level and there is development in terms of the squad. We came to the tournament for the championship, and everything is still in order. I congratulate the Azerbaijani people, fans and families for this success".
It should be reminded that the Azerbaijani team defeated Austria (1:0), Italy (3:0) and France (3:2) in the group stage. The team, coached by Elshad Guliyev, will face the Kazakhstan national team in the 1/8 finals.
