    NEW COACH OF AZERBAIJANI FOOTBALL TEAM SETS AMBITIOUS AIMS
    Turan News Agency, 15, April 2008

    "I cannot promise that Azerbaijani football team will win World Football Championship 2010, but we could pose problems to favorites of elimination group - German and Russian teams - and took away some points from them," Berty Fogts, new coach of Azerbaijani football team, said at yesterday's press conference.

    Fogts said he is proud of his appointment to the position of chief coach of Azerbaijani football team. He added that it is necessary to work hard to achieve success. "But one cannot just hope for good luck. It is necessary to fight," said Fogts.

    He evaded the question about the place that Azerbaijani team could take in its group. He promised that in the near future it will be difficult to win victory over Azerbaijani team.
