What do you think about drawing ceremony?
Very strong opponents but it is interesting for us what Turkey and Azerbaijan will be able to do in this group.
What can you say about Berti Vogts team?
I can say Azerbaijan was not bad, especially against Russia. Azerbaijani team has good footballers. Vagif Javadov made right choice when moved to Twente.
Will Azerbaijan be able to achieve successful result at home?
Azerbaijan can beat every opponent in Baku. It would be good.
Even Turkey?
I think Azerbaijan will have big advantage at home; Turkey – no. Azerbaijancanwin.
What can you say about Kazakhstan?
They also have good footballers. I remember I played against Kazakhstan in Almaty for Turkish team and we gained victory.
Will Turkey be able to reached group?
It is difficult to say. Our team was the favorite with Spain in last qualifying cycle but couldn’t reach World Championship. Now we have to reach Euro.
Are you waiting for Azerbaijani help?
Azerbaijanmust lift its image and try to take away points from strong teams.
Do you agree that this group is the most difficult?
I don’t know exactly but I think our opponents are very strong. Germany is the favorite; Belgium and Austria are strong enough.
