Idman.biz interview of Mana Mollayeva, player of the Azerbaijan national team
-In the II round of the qualifying round of the European Championship, we lost to Switzerland at home with a score of 0:4. How would you interpret the meeting?
-We were aware of the opponent's strength. They are both the group leader and the host of the European Championship. From the very first minutes, they started creating dangerous moments at our door. They saw the results of this.
-What would you attribute the massive defeat to?
-We did what we could. We fought to change the course of the game. However, the opponent has very good players. Therefore, the game failed. We have to prepare better for the next matches.
-You didn't know the opponent's strength from the beginning, did you?
-To be honest, the Swiss played stronger than I expected. I really did not expect such a score. But this game was a great opportunity for experience. In the fight against such opponents, mistakes look better. We can prepare better for the next games.
-After the one-goal draw with Hungary, it was expected that you would "show your teeth" to the Swiss. Is the difference in level between these 2 sets much?
-Yes. Hungary made more mistakes than Switzerland. They made better passes and got out of situations with skill. There is a big difference between these two teams.
-Your next match will be against the Turkish national team. What is your expectation from this match?
-I think that both games against the "Moon Stars" will be very difficult. A day ago, they defeated Hungary with a score of 2:1. They play very well. For this reason, we are expecting a very interesting and intense encounter with them. But I believe in my team. We always fight and fight on the field. We always compete for maximum points. I believe that we will be able to get as many points as we want from these games.
