"We will be playing against a strong team."

Offsideplus.az reports that these were the words of Azerbaijan national team's head coach Ayxan Abbasov at a press conference.

The specialist shared his thoughts on the match that the team will play away against Lithuania in the first round of the UEFA Nations League:

"We have come here after a friendly match against Tajikistan. We have prepared well for the match against Lithuania. We will aim for a successful result on the pitch. Lithuania won their first match. The opponent has many players who play in European clubs. However, the players have been given the necessary instructions. Hopefully, we will implement what we have in mind on the pitch and achieve the desired result."

It should be noted that the journalists' trip to Lithuania is organised by AFFA with the support of "Misli."
