“The physical level of a footballer who plays in the Azerbaijan Premier League and a footballer who plays in Europe cannot be the same.”
Oku.Az This is what the coach of the “Zira” club reports Rashad Sadigov saying.
“Previously, the head coach was given 10 days to form the national team, but now that time has been reduced to three days. Of course, forming a team during this period is also a very difficult task. I agree, our national team is not at the level to compete with high and medium-ranking teams. Both the players of “Qarabag” and “Zira” may be a little tired since the start of the season. The lack of physical fitness of the players is not the problem of the national team, but of the club. I think that our national team will have a very successful performance in this period.”
It should be noted that Azerbaijan will host Sweden today in its first match of the Nations League group stage. The match will start at 20:00 Baku time.
