â€œWe were lucky to score a goal at the end of the match against Azerbaijanâ€?, stated Dutch head coach of Kazakh national team Arno Paypers after a 1-0 victory over Azerbaijan in Alma-TV Cup, APA-Sport reports.
The coach said the teams hadnâ€™t created many goal positions in the match.
â€œThe match was different from the encounter in Baku last year. One thing remained that Azerbaijani national squad still keeps its playing style which makes Azerbaijan proudâ€?, he said.
Azerbaijani squad coach Shahin Diniyev first congratulated Kazakh team on victory and wished them to play better in next encounters. Diniyev stressed that he didnâ€™t think to revenge the score in Baku on Kazakhstan this time.
â€œConsidering the condition of the stadium after the rain, the match was interesting enough. The best score of the match was a draw. Kazakhstanâ€™s progess is obvious it should be admitted. Players forget past events when they are fielded. One should think, first of all, about his own game. This tournament is a great oppotunity to view players if we play three friendlies before official matchesâ€?, he said. /APA-Sport/
