At the moment, he does not train. Our footballers returned from national camp tired. Badavi Huseynov and I have leg pain. We're on a tight schedule. Because matches are tough, there are a lot of stresses. At present, our main problem is microtraumas. I hope we will be able to prepare for the matches against Inter and Atletico with a full squad”.

But if I take part in the main team match, I am not going to sit on the coach bench”.
