In the UEFA Nations League Group D, the Azerbaijan national team defeated Liechtenstein 1-0.

According to Offsideplus.az, Abbasov participated in the post-match press conference.

"The opponent had earned points in the first match. We wanted to score an early goal. My players were hindered by impatience and the desire to win. Our goal was to take the lead - this was important. I thank the boys. We will try to give everyone a chance in the match against Andorra," he stated.

"There are analyses after every game. We should have won in Lithuania. We had many goal-scoring opportunities. It is rare to play against a team that sits back defensively. There was a lack of precision in the final passes. I told my players during the FIFA Series to strive not to lose," he added.

Regarding the reason for only one substitution until the 88th minute, Abbasov explained:

"We had good players on the bench. The attacks we wanted began. Then Khayal and Tellur came on. We kept Toral on the pitch due to his crosses and Rufat's as well."

On the criticisms, he remarked:

"Even in the games we win, there are criticisms. Some players were not called up due to poor performances."
