According to Offsideplus.az, the Italian specialist had to watch the friendly matches of the teams training in the Turkish resort city, and see the candidates who could benefit the national team in the future. In fact, he watched and liked it. But the last word is for the players.
De Biazi did not go to Antalya alone. One of those with him was the manager of the national team Ilgar Gurbanov. Gurbanov, who finished his football career last season, can be considered a person closely involved in the negotiations. Because his position requires it from Ilgar. Therefore, we talked about the trip to Turkey with the former player of the national team, who returned from the trip: "It was a three-day trip planned in advance. The goal was to closely monitor the trainings and friendly matches of" Minay "and" Khimki "with Azerbaijani players. One game for Gianni de Byazi No, training is very important. I must say that the plan was followed and it was possible to gather the necessary information. And most importantly, we talked to the players themselves.
Speaking of the trip, I saw the experience of Gianni de Biasi and his professional approach to work. Frankly, I liked his attitude to the national team and football. He is really very enthusiastic and willing, he wants to do great things, to develop the nation. This fact was useful for me. In any case, although 3 days was short, I gained some experience. We are always discussing and exchanging views on footballers. "
When Ilgar Bey was asked if there were specific players in the target, his answer was short: "It has already been reported in the media. Anatoly Nuriyev and Rustam Ahmadzade from Minay, Kamran Aliyev from Khimki - these three players were the target of the trip to Antalya, no one else."
Of course, this is a question that concerns everyone. Will it be possible to see Azerbaijanis playing in the national team in the upcoming games? In general, what is their opinion on this issue? Let's listen to Gurbanov: "Yes, everyone wants to wear the national team uniform with great pleasure. They know what it means. There are just some technical issues that need to be addressed first. The main question is what will be the situation in the clubs after the national team. "They are not considered legionnaires in the leagues they play in, but they will be counted after playing for the national team. They should consider it and consult. On the other hand, the opinions of their families and parents are very important.
