Offsideplus.az presents an interview with Rashad Eyyubov, head coach of the Azerbaijan U-21 national team, following their 3-0 victory against Gibraltar:

– First of all, I want to thank all the players. We went through a tough period. As a result, we finished the round with our best result in history.

– You surpassed the 9-point barrier. What are your thoughts on this?

– We must be maximum realists. In today’s reality, this is a very good result. We drew with Scotland, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria, and won both matches against Gibraltar. I only regret one match. We should not have lost away to Scotland.

– Agadadash scored a double. Is he good enough for the national team?

– The head coach of the national team has been watching all the matches and has seen. I believe Agadadash is a real candidate for the national team.

– How would you assess the future of the players in our U-21 squad?

– Since the limit was abolished according to the new rules, their playing time has decreased. I see this as normal. The players need to work hard and earn their minutes.

– What else do you want to see in the national team?

– First and foremost, I want a wider player pool. I want us to continue fighting and competing as we did in every match.

– What is missing in evaluating episodes in Nariman?

– Nariman has everything. Among the upcoming players, he is the most talented. It’s a tough time now, but he is one of the brightest players of the future.
