Head coach of Azerbaijan national team Aykhan Abbasov expressed his thoughts during the post-match press conference after the friendly match (2-1) against San Marino at at Haladás Stadium in Szombathely, Hungary:
“I would like to thank my players. We wanted to win today because we lost the game against Malta. Since it was our last training session before the Nations League, we tried to see everyone on the field. Training makes the game different. We also made changes to the squad. As in the match against Malta, our main problem today was that we could not take advantage of the scoring opportunities. The pace of the game was normal, we were attacking. Both the players and we wanted to win. We are happy that we did it”.
