Head coach of Turkey Shinol Ustaomer
- Azerbaijan is a very skilled team, they can score. So, the aim was – not to give the territory and free actions for the opponents. We could play our game, that is why we won. In comparison with previous year Azerbaijan players made a good progress and improved their technics and speed. I think this team has its future. It was interesting to play with them. I thank our opponents and my players for the beautiful game. After the first match on this tournament I had a talk with my squad, to my mind it was productive.
Head coach of Azerbaijan Bernhard Lippert
- My team played only for the first fifteen minutes. Then, we were broken. We lost the match. Certainly, we’ll make the correction work afterwards. Turkey totally surpassed us. Our strikers are not so sharp and productive as their opponents in Turkey team. And also I should add, that I do not agree with all the cards that was shown by the referee. Certainly, this game was nervous, but it wasn’t so rude.
Finland have made changes - a natural thing in this kind of a tournament, and again, an even match is to be expected.

Head coach of Finland Mika Laurikainen:
- I’m sad, that the victory was lost on last minutes. But, frankly speaking, Azerbaijan had more chances to score. We came to the game only in the second half. I made several substitutions to keep movement and action in the team. We got very unnecessary goal to our gate and the draw is the result. I think the goalkeeper had to get that ball.
Head coach of Azerbaijan Bernhard Lippert:
- We wanted to win, tried to control every part of the field. I could say that in the first half we showed our best game on the tournament, but we couldn’t transfer our moments into the goals. Moreover, we received shot at the beginning of the second time from Finland. It was beautiful goal. We rushed, trying to score, but could only make even the account.
