Azerbaijani team new head coach gave an interview to group of Azerbaijani journalists includes azerisport.com.You visited trainings of six clubs already. What about your impressions?
Trainings were organized in high level. Every team head coaches treat to
training processes very differently. Players get tired. They don't use
to train two times in a day.
What can you say about meetings with coaches?
They promised that they will help me and give advices.
You said in interview to AFFA website that field in Azerbaijan is not
worse than in Germany. What did you mean?
Lawns are not bad for this season. Of course I can't compare them with
lawns in Bavaria and Hamburg stadiums but they are not bad.
You will back to Germany and come back to Baku only on May 15. You will
miss the most important matches of championship in this case.
I am going to visit three very interesting matches this weekend.
What are you going to do in Germany these twenty days?
I will hold negotiations. I am going to inspect medical base of some
universities as well.
Do you think that two matchdays will be enough to become formed with
squad on friendly match against Andorra?
I think it is not a problem. Bernhard Lippert will stay here and I will
meet him after return to Azerbaijan. I will be informed by player's
condition.
Do you think that match against Andorra is important?
All matches of national team in international area are important.
What do you expect from this match?
It is not so easy to win in Andorra. I must meet player closer to say
what I am expecting.
Why you accepted Azerbaijan proposal?
I like that AFFA employees are young people. If we be work together we
will be able to achieve something important.
Do you want to play with somebody besides Andorra on June?
With Brazil. I want to see inscription on Board AZERBAIJAN - BRAZIL
Carlos Alberto wanted to bring Brazilian team here for one million
dollars.
It is normal price. Other teams also play for the same money.
Can you single out somebody in national team?
I will do it only after conversation with them
Are you ready for fan's and press's critic?
I am feeling good yet.
Critic may exist after possible fails...
Let's talk about it after matches. I treat press kindly if it not writs
things that never happened. For example, Nigerian press.
What can you say about weak and strong points of Azerbaijani
footballers?
They have fantasy, but when it comes to ball selection they have some
problems. Local players don't like to back for the ball.
Did you see Azerbaijani team defeats from Serbia, Poland, Portugal in
Euro-2008 qualifying?
I heard you played drawn game with Portugal.
It was long time ago. Don't you afraid that your work in Azerbaijan will
not be a success.
I can say that we will not become World champions.
What about mundial?
It is difficult but impossible. Our main task is to training young
players. It will be very good if Azerbaijani club play in third
qualifying round of Champions league.
You mean last place in World hampionship-2010 will not displeased you?
I don't think that we will become last or first.
Are you happy with schedule of World Championship-2010/
I can't change it.
Carlos Alberto said that he will bring his friend Pele to Baku. Will you
bring your friends too?
Perhaps they will visit match between Germany and Azerbaijan. You will
have a chance to see them soon.
When you will announce the names of your assistants?
They will play with team before match with Andorra. We have no right to
loose the time.
What will you going to do after match with Andorra?
I am going to visit matches of Russian team in European Championship.
Will you see matches of German team?
There's no sense to see it.
Why you think so? We will loose anywhere?
What you will do if we win?
I will give up journalism (our correspondent said)
