"We played against a strong opponent. The Croatian national team won all 6 matches in the group and qualified for the final stage of the European Championship with maximum points."
Apasport.az reports that this was stated by Vitali Borisov, the head coach of the Azerbaijani futsal team, at a briefing after the match against Croatia.
He commented on the 1:4 defeat in the last match of the main stage of the European Championship: "Our team played well today. Usually we couldn't keep up in the second half and dropped out of the game. This time they fought well against a strong opponent. We have many injured futsal players in our squad. Most of them came out on the field with painkillers. But they didn't make it felt. We have discussed and informed what is needed regarding Rovshan Huseynli. We have removed him from this training camp, but the doors of the national team are open to him in the next training camps. This is everyone's national team. There were no goalkeeper errors in any of the goals we conceded today."
It should be noted that our team finished the group stage in the last place with 2 points.
