Former goalkeeper of the Azerbaijani national football team Alexander Zhidkov expressed his opinion to azerisport.com regarding the match of the 3rd round of Group C1 of the Nations League against the Estonia team in Tallinn.
“I managed to watch the opening match of the group against Sweden (1:3). Not to say that we played poorly. If you had scored a penalty, the game could have turned out differently. If they play the same way today against Estonia, plus or minus, it will be possible to win. Well, if you lose to the Estonians, then close football. In general, I think that we should already play with an advantage against the countries of the former Soviet Union. Well, okay, Swedes and Slovaks, but we must play calmly and win against teams of Estonia’s level.
I would like to say a few words about Mehdi Jannatov. I worked with him in Makhachkala and know this guy well. I’m happy for him, he played well in both previous matches, despite the fact that they lost. I was not surprised by his playing form. He is a strong and experienced goalkeeper. Let it continue like this,” concluded Zhidkov.
