“Ahead of us lies the European Championship. As both a federation representative and the head coach, I carry a great deal of responsibility,”
Idman.biz, citing Teleqraf, reports that this was said by Faig Garayev, Vice President of the Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation and head coach of the national team.
The experienced specialist noted that they would assess the team’s chances after the draw for the European Championship, which will be held in August: “The difficulty is that 8 of our players did not participate in the European Golden League. But the young players stepped in. Today, the players representing the national team started playing in Azerbaijan when they were 14–15 years old. As the head coach, we are doing our best to advance from the group. Hosting the European Championship in Azerbaijan next year is a major event. Advancing from the group would be a great success for our country. We will meet again to discuss this in more detail. I congratulate all of you.”
