The opinions expressed by Azerbaijan National team's head coach Aykhan Abbasov and the team's goalkeeper Emil Balayev at the pre-match press conference organized before the friendly match Azerbaijan vs Malta to take place on June 5 at Haladás Stadium in Szombathely, Hungary:
Aykhan Abbasov: “This is our last training session before the UEFA Nations League. We were pleased that the players were so willing and confident after a difficult season. We will hold two friendly matches here. We intend to see all the players at work. We want to see both a good game and a successful result in the upcoming matches. The training sessions both in Baku and here gave us confidence in this regard. Even though it is a friendly match, we will try to win both matches. I believe that tomorrow will be an interesting and fast game”.
Emil Balayev: “I am very happy to be back in the national team after a long time. I would like to thank our coaches for their trust in me. We have an interesting match tomorrow. There is a very good atmosphere in the team. We trained in Baku for three days and have been in Austria for four days now. There is a real family atmosphere in the team”.
