“The players must work hard and justify the trust placed in them.”

These were the words of Azer Bagirov, head coach of Shamakhi, in an interview with Offsideplus.az.

He commented on the call-up of Oruc Mammadov and Edqar Adilkhanov to the national team:

“It's great to see two young players called up to the national team. This should not be the end; it is just the beginning. The players must work hard and justify the trust placed in them. Ayxan Abbasov has put his faith in them. Both Oruc and Edqar have a great responsibility on their shoulders. We must respect Ayxan's choices.”

He also shared his thoughts on other selections:

“Ayhan Abbasov is at the helm of the national team. We should support him in every way possible. God willing, everything will go well. The coaches analyse their opponents and know how to play against them. I wish our national team success.”
