"The European Championship awaits us. A great burden falls on me as both a federation representative and head coach."
Idman.biz, referring to "Telegraf", reports that this was stated by Faig Garayev, Vice-President of the Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation and head coach of the national team.
The experienced specialist stated that they will discuss the team's chances after the draw for the European Championship to be held in August: "The difficulty is that 8 of our players did not play in the European Golden League. But young people came to the field. The volleyball players who play in the national team today played in Azerbaijan at the age of 14-15. As the head coach of the national team, we are trying to do our best to get out of the group. Holding the European Championship in Azerbaijan next year is a big event. If we get out of the group, it is a success for our country. We will meet and discuss this with you next time. I congratulate each of you."
