Shahin Diniyev: There is no need for reserved squad

06 April 2007 10:09 (UTC +04:00)

â€œFor the time, being there is no need to form a reserved squad because we have not much to selectâ€, Azerbaijan squad coach Shahin Diniyev told APA-Sport.
He didnâ€™t support the proposal which considered forming the team in early April.
â€œIt is very hard to collect two teams at the same time. I donâ€™t support to form reserved team now. We have enough difficulties in selection of players. Besides it should be taken into consideration that Olympic squad should be focused on before us. There are many players over 21 who donâ€™t play in national squadâ€, he said.
The trainer noted that scientific and methodical group of the team will begin activity next month. AFFA methodical centre chief Rafig Bagirov will determine the activities of the group. Diniyev stressed that Coachesâ€™ Council will hold next meeting in early May.
The formation of reserved squad and scientific and methodical group was proposed at february-28 meeting of the Council. /APA-Sport/
