Comments:
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.

Veikkausliiga - Breaking News; TPS and Pasi Rautiainen apart

The head coach Pasi Rautiainen decided not to continue his contract with TPS Turku. During his first year TPS took 3rd place in the League after fighting for the title until the last round.

TPS have lost now coach and most of the midfield, and financially they are probably not that strong either at the moment.

Paolo Coelho thought of the day - at Twitter

"Only one thing makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

Agree.


And the same in portugues;


"Só uma coisa impede a realização de um sonhol: o medo de fracassar."

And in Finnish;


"Ainoastaan epäonnistumisen pelko tekee unelmista mahdotonta toteuttaa.
