"This is our first gathering with this team in 2025. Our players have been playing playoff games in the leagues since the beginning of the month. Therefore, we have not been able to train in full squad, so to speak."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Aqil Nabiyev, the head coach of the Azerbaijan national team consisting of football players under 16 years old.
He commented on the 2:1 victory in the test match against the corresponding age group of Belarus: "It is normal to have physical fatigue. Of course, it is difficult to show the desired game in such a case. We are happy with the victory. I believe that these victories will continue. Let's take into account that these players have little international experience. They will show better performance as they play in such games."
It should be noted that our U-16 team will face the Belarus team in the second test match on May 11. The game, which will be held at the same venue, will start at 17:00.
