The head coach of the Kazakhstan U-21 Talgat Baysufinov commented about the match with Azerbaijan

 - The draw result is natural. We played well in the second half, had some chances, thanks to players we managed to score from the penalty spot.  Our game was broken into pieces, we would analyze each of them with the players after. Of course, it also affected the fact that the team was preparing for this game at an accelerated pace. The players managed to do some things, which I expected to see from from them. It was hard for the guys, because we only had two training sessions, including a pre-match training. We did not have time to prepare ourselves tactically.

 From a tactical point of view, we wanted to use two central midfielders - Pertsukh and Djumatov. Also assuming that the opponent has studied us, they did not refuse to connect the two extreme defenders to use the flanks. We still have time to work out all the ideas, since the next game on the 8th day we will have with the youth team of Kazakhstan, who will play in the next qualifying round. Now the team has players born in 1998 and 1999, who will able to strength the team. It will be interesting watch after the teams, one of them has just finished its qualifying round, and the national team that will represent the country in the qualifying stage. 

 - What can you say about Didar Zhalmukan, does he have a trauma? Why was he substituted so early?

 - No, Didar is the captain of our team, who started the current qualifying round as the leader our team. But, you understand perfectly that he is playing after the injury and is now gaining form in the First League for ''Aktobe-Zhas''. After a training session and after 25 minutes in the game, it was clear that it was hard for him. He had the task of directing the opponent's attacks and cutting off the central defenders to play on the flank. He dropped out of the game: as soon as this happened, we had free zones in the center where the rival was entering, but did it with small efforts. Only for this reason they decided to make a substitution.

 It was planned to substitute Antipov, having replaced Oleg Cheprasov in his position. But Ivan Antipov did his best - thank him very much. Today he has played at a good level.

 -Azerbaijan youth team has players who play in Europe. Almost all our players play in the championships of Kazakhstan. Did it affect today's game?

 - This factor takes place. Today we released the forward Cheprasov, who plays in the third league of Belgium and the defender Hodzhamov, who plays in the First League of Belarus managed to do better from the tactical and dynamics point of view. As part of the opponent there are players from the championships of Germany, Portugal and the Czech Republic, but do not forget that the Caucasian football school itself is very technical. Plus they have strong team spirit and philosophy.
