Yuval Shabtay, the head coach and player of the Israeli minifootball team, compared the World Cup in Baku to the previous Mundials held under the FIFA flag.
"It was a difficult game. The Czech Republic was a better team than us. We were 0:4 down by the end of the game. I would like to thank Azerbaijan for the organization and the warm welcome. The Azerbaijan Minifootball Federation organized the competition magnificently. I would say that it is similar to the Mundials organized by FIFA. We are walking around Baku, it is a beautiful city, the people are nice. It is an honor for us to be a part of this magnificent world championship," Shabtay said in a statement to Report.
He thinks that the Azerbaijani national team will win the World Cup:
"I think the favorite to win the World Cup is the Azerbaijani national team. Each of the players is superior to those in other teams. I think it will be difficult to play against Serbia. All teams have a chance, but I think the Azerbaijani national team will be the champion."
