"Paolo Nicolato has been coaching Latvia for the second year. I like his style of work. But the results of his work will be known at the end of the World Cup qualifying round. Last year, the results were not expected because he was a new coach, but this year the situation is different."
Maris Verpakovskis, a living legend of Latvian football, who once played for the Baku club, said this in a statement to Sports.az about the friendly match to be held with our national team today, reports Idman.biz.
The top scorer in the history of the Latvian national team said that the Baltic team will play with an experimental squad: "The Italian specialist called up some players who have not played for the national team yet for the match against Azerbaijan. Today, there will be several debuts for the Latvian national team. Our squad is somewhat experimental. Because in 3 days we have a very important match with Albania within the framework of the World Cup qualifying round. It will be interesting to see the new players in the national team.
In principle, our head coach invited those who played well in the championship. Let's see how they will look at the national level.
As for the Azerbaijani national team, the basis of your team is the players of Qarabag, who have been successful in European cups for many years. Therefore, it will not be easy for Latvia".
