But that day I saw the Italian specialist in the famous town with tomatoes, and I was surprised to see the list of players invited by the national team for Portugal, Qatar and Serbia. I was not surprised, as if the current hit me.

De Biasi has sent an invitation to only one member of "Zira" - Sartan Tashkin, whose name is mentioned this season. Yes, only one person!

If you don't read the names of the players on the list and the teams they play for, you can probably get over it. Smoke comes out of a person's head when he sees their names.

7 people from Sumgayit - Mehdi Jannatov, Elvin Badalov, Vugar Mustafayev, Khayal Najafov, Tellur Mutallimov, Rahim Sadikhov and Ali Gurbanov are currently in the national team's camp. 7 out of 30 people, ie 23% of the total number, represent Sumgayit. This is close to AFFA Secretary General Elkhan Mammadov, who is currently in the 4th place of the tournament table, scoring 23 goals and conceding 24 goals, 4 points behind "Zira" and 16 points behind the leader "Neftchi". Sumgayit, the president of his friend Riad Rafiyev.

6 more people - Ramil Sheydayev, Bahlul Mustafazade, Amin Seydiyev, Alexey Isayev, Joshgun Diniyev and Tamkin Khalilzade will be at the disposal of the head coach for about 3 weeks as a football player of "Sabah". Do you know what "Sabah" is? A team nicknamed "students" that made the whole of Azerbaijan laugh and settled on the last step of the tournament table.

Two more players are from Keshla - Azer Salahli and Shahriyar Aliyev. If there were other names, maybe it would be over. However, if we are talking about one of the two teams that have scored the most goals in the championship, a team with a bad defensive line, it is heartbreaking that two defenders from "Keshla" were invited to the national team.

As the names and figures show, 15 out of 30 players in the camp today, ie half of the body, represent 3 teams. Those teams that do not differ in anything unusual in the championship. Except for Sumgayit, the other two teams are in a disgraceful situation this season.

However, there is no one from Gabala who has won the applause of the players he has given to the country in recent years. However, in order to encourage, one of Rufat Ahmadov, Idris Ingilabli, Rovlan Muradov, Yusif Nabiyev could be happy to be in the ranks of the main national team.

It was necessary to call at least 3-4 players from "Zira". Who? Agabala Ramavanov, Richard Almeida, Ilkin Muradov, Gismat Aliyev, Hajiaga Hajili, Musa Gurbanli ... There is no need to send invitations to all of them, there should be 3-4 of them. Definitely!

If he doesn't call, then it's not the head coach's football philosophy, it's something else. De Biasi and his friends know better than anyone what that "thing" is. Personally, I do not think that the football education of the coach who led the Albanian national team to the finals of the European Championship is shallow enough to invite 15 people from Sumgayit, Keshla and Sabah to the national team.
