"After the goal conceded in the last minutes of the first half, it was a little difficult to prepare the team for the second half."
Idman.biz reports that Samir Aliyev, head coach of the under-21 national team, said this.
The coach of the team, which won a decisive victory over Luxembourg in the qualifying round of the European Championship, said that the game was difficult: "Although Luxembourg is considered an outsider in the group, it was a difficult and difficult game. The opposition is a good team and beat Northern Ireland away. In the first 20 minutes, the players were a little excited. Nevertheless, we scored our own goal. In the second half, we played better, created scoring situations and won."
U-21 head coach Samir Aliyev commented on the first victory won by the national team. He even admitted that he thought about resigning as a result of the failure in this game: "For the victory, there is no special feeling. It seems that we are the outsiders in the group. We should have won Northern Ireland too. I still haven't recovered from the shock of that match. If we had lost today, I would have already written my application and left. We must find a way out, we must try to get these players to play regularly. Whoever works in my place will suffer the same."
Samir Aliyev also spoke about the team's next matches. The young specialist hopes that the team will get a good result in the games against England and Ukraine: We tried to play friendly games against strong opponents. Now we will face the giants in the qualifiers. I think it will be more comfortable to play with them."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan U-21 team defeated Luxembourg with a score of 3:2 in an intense fight.
