The interview of Siyasat Asgarov, the head coach of the Azerbaijan national team consisting of women's football players, to Idman.biz website
- Today you will play against Hungary in the qualifying round of EURO-2025. How do you evaluate the preparation of the team?
- We started preparations from April 1. Everything is OK. We have no problem. The girls came from their clubs in good shape. Happily, they also have gaming experience. It is very important for us that the players are in full form.
- Has Nazlıcan Parlak fully recovered from her injury?
- The doctors initially diagnosed him with torn ligaments. But during the operation, they saw that this tear was insignificant. For this reason, the operation was light. We were very happy about that.
- Are you satisfied with the current form?
- We invited him as he trained with his club and went to games. Preparations were made here as well. True, he is not in full form and lags behind in game practice. We think that he will help the team when it is needed.
- What are the expectations from the game against Hungary?
- The first games in such tournaments are always difficult. Hungary is a very good opponent. We have set ourselves a goal that it would be good if we return from here with 1 point. This is a new experience for us. Since we are in the B league, we will have games with better teams. Hungary is one of them.
- What is the main advantage of the opponent?
- They have been participating in the B league for years. They have very good players. Some of their players play in leagues that speak their word. Hungary even had a chance to go to the A league last time. They failed to do so as they lost to Belgium. I think it shows their strength if they played to get promoted from B to A. As a team, we can give Hungary a good answer.
