"Most of the players of the Azerbaijan national team play abroad. Many of them are playing in the Turkish and Russian championships."
As Idman.biz reports, this was said by the head coach of the Portuguese women's national team, Francisco Neto.
He commented on the draw of the play-off stage of EURO 2025. Neto considers his team superior in the meeting with the Azerbaijan national team: "We analyzed the opponent well. We must admit that we are favorites in matches against Azerbaijan. They are among the countries that took the first steps at this stage. But we treat the opponent with great respect. Because we were in their position 10 years ago and then we qualified for the European Championship. Our opponent usually plays with a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 tactical scheme."
Azerbaijan will play their first game against Portugal on October 23 at home, and the return match on October 29 away.
