Eks-Igrok of the Azerbaijan: “The excellence of Ukraine is good to be a good way”

Today, at the Taf Bakhramov Republican stadium, the Azerbaijani National Team will host Ukraine in the World Cycle in 2026. About the important match for both rivals with Sport.ua correspondent shared his thoughts by the exgrade of Bakinsky “Neftchi” and the Azerbaijan national team Elshan Gambarov.

“Both teams will be laid out in this match for every hundred percent – that’s for sure,” he said. – The Azerbaijan national team will be more difficult than Ukrainians. It can only count on success at the expense of desire and will to win. Ayhan Abbasov and I played at the Azerbaijan Championship at one time, and we recently met him. Now it lies a lot of responsibility. The opportunities for Ukrainian players are familiar to Ukrainian players, because in the late 1990s I had to play with them together in one team: with Sergey Puchkov-in Bakili, with Vladimir Poshhontsev and Oleksiy Stukas-in “Neftchi”, and with Konstantin Pavlyuchenko-in Uzbek “. Just then, by the way, I had the opportunity to play in Ukraine – or rather, in Zaporizhzhya Torpedo, headed by Leonid Koltun. However, it did not work, because at the last moment the team gave up the sponsor. ”
