Araz-Nakhchivan player Aghadadash Salyanski said he is awaiting a national team call-up after his side drew 2-2 with Shafa in the 11th round of the Misli Premier League.
The forward said they knew the match would be difficult and wanted to win. According to Salyanski, both teams were near the bottom of the standings and did not want to drop points. He believes the match should not have ended in a draw.
Red card and national team call-up
Salyanski said he could not fully celebrate scoring in matches his team did not win. He also discussed the red card he received in the eighth-round match, which Araz-Nakhchivan lost 2-1 to Sumgait. The player said he slipped during the incident and was shown a second yellow card less than two minutes after receiving his first.
Having scored five goals in the Premier League, Salyanski is the leading scorer among Azerbaijani players and said he is awaiting a call-up to the national team. He said that, at 22, he is no longer eligible to be called up to the U-21 team and will work to earn a place in the senior squad. Salyanski said he respects head coach Ayhan Abbasov’s decision and will try to score more goals.
Return to Neftchi
Salyanski said he is playing for Araz-Nakhchivan on a one-year loan and will return to Neftchi when the deal expires. He said the club will decide what happens next.
