Emin Mahmudov, the midfielder of the Azerbaijani national team and "Neftchi", was a guest on the "Podkat" program broadcast on the Youtube platform. Sport24.az reports that he talked about the matches that the Azerbaijani national team will play against France in the selection stage of WC-2026.
The experienced football player stated that the national team has no chance to gain points in those matches: "God must help us in this match. We have to go to the field with 8 defenders and 2 attackers (laughs). In general, it would not be convincing to lie and say that we will shut down Mbappe, we will not allow Dembele to play. Sometimes there are just extraordinary matches. For example, there was such a game against Portugal. That is, it can only happen like that".
