Opinions of the members of the national team about the match
Shahriyar Aliyev: “We are preparing for the match against Qatar as we prepare for other matches. We watched the opponent's games. The head coach told us how to play. We want to play our best game and get results in tomorrow's game. This game is also a good opportunity for other players to play and gain experience. There is serious competition in every position in the national team. This competition is especially different in the defensive line. Of course, it develops where there is competition. It is an honor to play for the national team. If the head coach gives me a chance, I will try to prove myself and become a member of the squad”.
 
Amil Yunanov: “Despite the fact that it is a friendly match, we take the game seriously. Qatar is a good team. We mainly prefer tactical exercises in trainings. Our main shortcoming is that we are not able to use the opportunities we have created. The head coach tells us what to do in the attack. As a striker, I try to be both tactically and physically ready to be in the squad. However, it must be admitted that it is not so easy to compete with such players as Mahir Emreli, Ali Gurbani, Ramil Sheydayev. That's why you need to work hard in games and trainings to be able to withstand the competition. If I get a chance to play, I will try to prove myself”.
 
Khayal Najafov: “In this game, everything depends on us. If we organize collectively and fight, we will achieve results. The head coach pays special attention to each player in trainings. Whoever is more prepared is given a chance. We, the players, are working hard in trainings to get a place in the squad. I have already made my debut in the national team’s squad in the Nations League match against Montenegro. Of course, this is not enough. I do my best to get a place in the main squad”.
 
Toral Bayramov: “It is the dream of every player to be invited to the national team, to wear its uniform. I also played in the youth teams. The atmosphere in those teams was completely different. They all belonged to same age group, we played football together, everyone knew each other, and there was some relaxedness. The situation is completely different in the national team. Even in the first days, I did not know how I would be greeted in the A-team and what awaited me. Everyone in the national team welcomed me very positively. It's like we've played together before. I thank Gianni De Biazi for giving young players like us the opportunity. I am looking forward to my debut game. I cannot say I am excited, I don't remember being excited about any game at all”.
 
Anatoli Nuriyev: “I am very happy to be in the camp of the Azerbaijan national team and I am lucky to make my debut in the national team in a short time. Azerbaijan is the homeland of my ancestors. My paternal grandfather and grandfather were born and lived in Azerbaijan, and my grandfather later moved to Ukraine. When I was still playing in the first league, I was contacted to play for the national team. The fact that the head coach of the national team came to watch my game during my training camp in Turkey played an important role in my decision. I hope I can be useful to our national team.
Of course, first of all, I have to strengthen in the national team. If I can achieve this, I can work harder and think about becoming one of the leading members of the team. We have two more matches ahead. We must seriously prepare for both matches and achieve a successful result. I hope we will reach our aim”.
