"We are all very disappointed. Even when the draw was made, all the experts said that Estonia was our opponent. We thought that we would win both games."
Yunis Huseynov, a former football player of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
An experienced specialist commented on the match Azerbaijan lost to Estonia 1:3 in the League of Nations. He said that our team conceded too many simple goals: "There were many mistakes in the defense. In the first half, if Renat Dadashov's shot had not bounced off the post, the result would have been completely different. The principle of "those who hit, they hit" came into play. Our team made a good impression in the first half. It cannot be denied. The result is always remembered. After our mistakes in defense, we conceded 3 balls, and the lack of teeth in the attack showed itself."
Huseynov also explained the main reasons for the defeat: "Football players playing in the national team should understand that this is not a club, but a national team. The players of the team must put all their presence on the field. I don't want to interfere with the coach. But there were 2-3 players who couldn't get into the squad. Their poor performance also affected the game. If 1-2 players in the team perform poorly, the opponent gains advantage in those zones. That's why we lost yesterday's match. Also, we have little choice of players. Each time the same players play in the team. It will continue like this until there is less choice."
Azerbaijan team will play the next match against Slovakia on October 14 in Baku.
