â€œI am glad for the score which favors both partiesâ€, Azerbaijani national team head coach Shahin Diniyev told a press conference after the visit match against Kazakhstan, APA-Sport reports.
Diniyev expressed content with the score.
â€œBefore the match I assessed Kazakhstanâ€™s chances 55 percent. The play showed i was right. Kazakhstan wanted to regain fansâ€™ confidence after the defeat to Armenia. It is the first time that we opened the scoring but couldnâ€™t win over Kazakhstan. There are many reasons of it. We will try to fill these shortcomings in the futureâ€, he said.
It is very strange that Diniyev expressed his satisfaction with Azeri team which couldnâ€™t secure victory over ten players.
â€œI am satisfied with my players. The problems of Kazakhstan and Azeri football are similar. This game shows that both teams are in the right path. I think the teams will be able to cope with other rivals on equal termsâ€, he said. /APA-Sport/
