"We agreed to participate in this tournament because Azerbaijan creates very good conditions for us and we will not go far for these two matches."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the head coach of the Bulgarian national football team, Ilian Iliyev.
The expert announced his opinion on "FIFA series - Edition 2024" to be held in Baku. He singled out the Azerbaijani national team that will participate in the tournament: "They defeated Sweden with a score of 3:0. Azerbaijan is a serious competitor worthy of respect. The national team includes many players from Qarabag, who successfully performed in the Europa League. By the way, we have already agreed to play a friendly match in Bulgaria. Our other opponent, the Tanzania national team, is also good, they participated in the last African Cup, it will be interesting to play against them."
Iliyev, who also coached the local Cherno More together with National team, also advised Bulgarian footballers to go to Azerbaijani clubs: "I believe that it would be good for Bulgarian footballers to play in Azerbaijan, where there is a good, competitive league. Qarabag has two former players of Cherno More. We follow the work of Patrick Andrade and Leandro in the team and are happy with their success. But to be honest, I don't communicate with them very often. I hope we will meet in Baku."
The 55-year-old expert also spoke about the speech of Jalal Huseynov, who chases the ball in Bulgaria: Jalal Huseynov, a football player of Arda, Azerbaijani defender, is performing in our country. I think that the Bulgarian Championship will help him in his professional development, because he is still young."
It should be noted that Azerbaijan will face Bulgaria on March 25 at 20:00.
