“I have great faith in the Azerbaijan national team,” said veteran footballer Igor Ponomaryov in an interview with AZERTAC.
Speaking about Azerbaijan's upcoming UEFA Nations League C Division match against Sweden, Ponomaryov shared his optimistic outlook and assessed the team's chances, as reported by Idman.biz.
The Olympic champion, traveling with the team, highlighted the positive atmosphere within the squad: “The players regret not securing a win against Estonia in Gabala. We had good opportunities in that match. To boost morale, we need to beat Sweden. We must play fearlessly and fight with determination, as resilience will play a key role. Our players understand this well. Sweden’s coach employs varied tactics, making their current team more dangerous on counterattacks. I trust our players will do their best on the field.”
The Sweden-Azerbaijan match will take place today at Strawberry Arena, kicking off at 23:45 Baku time.
