"For the first time, we played against such a weak opponent. They came out in order not to lose to our nation by a big score."
Tabriz Hasanov, a former football player of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
The 57-year-old expert evaluated the game in which Azerbaijan won 1:0 against Mongolia in "FIFA series - Edition 2024". According to the veteran football player, the game was an ordinary training for our national team: "The essence of the match shows it. Building attacks against a defensive team was like an exercise. I can't call it a game. There have been many arm episodes. The score must have been huge. I would also mention a bit of bad luck. Ramil Sheydayev, Vusal Isgandarli, Renat Dadashov have not distinguished themselves for a long time, so they could not take advantage of the scoring episodes. We have a problem with accurate shot. It created an episode of numerous goals, not using it will be a lesson for players and coaches."
Hasanov said that no one in Europe will play against us like this: "There will be no team that just sits on defense against our national team. That's why I can't say anything about the benefit of this match. It is also difficult to rate football players. They can be evaluated after the meeting with Bulgaria. It is good that our young goalkeeper Rza Jafarov and Emil Mustafayev from Ukraine played and did not have a bad effect."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team will play the next game on March 25 against Bulgaria.
