Portuguese defender: "Azerbaijan is not an easy opponent"

"We can’t think about the next round yet, as we still have a game to play. We need to keep working hard,” said Portuguese national team defender Alícia Correia.

According to Idman.biz, the 21-year-old shared her thoughts ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Euro 2025 play-off against Azerbaijan. Despite their 4-1 victory in the first match, Correia emphasized that they are preparing seriously: “Favorites? I wouldn’t say we are the favorites; we showed what we’re capable of in the first match. We know Azerbaijan isn’t an easy opponent. Perhaps we made the game look easier, but we aim to enhance our performance and stay focused to advance past this play-off. We want to show everyone what we’re capable of.”

The return match will take place on October 29 in Vizela.
