"It was a very exciting game. Great atmosphere, high-level organization. We enjoyed the game. Even if our team had lost, we would have been proud of them. Because they did everything they could to win."
Idman.biz reports that Rashad Sadygov, the head coach of "Zira", said these words in his statement to Futbolxeber.az while talking about our national minifootball team's victory over Romania in the 1/8 finals of the World Championship.
He said that our team fought to the end: "There was great support, our fans were great. Our football players also fought to the end. They had a very strong team in front of them. Romania is the world champion and this was felt on the field. It was a stressful, exciting game. It is gratifying that we won over one of the favorites."
Sadygov emphasized that the Azerbaijan Minifootball Federation has done a great job for the development of this sport: "Minifootball has been developing rapidly in Azerbaijan in recent years, and great attention is paid to it. Our national team becoming European champion and "Birbasha Baku" winning the Champions League are the results of these efforts. As they say, they are reaping the rewards of their work. I would really like them to become world champions. Of course, any result can be recorded in sports. In any case, we are the winners. Holding a world championship at this level in Baku is a great success. All the guests especially note the organization. This World Championship is an impetus for our football."
