"It is too early to talk about my plans in football, but they will exist. Rovnag Abdullayev has offered to raise the authority of the national football with the assistance of the Foreign Ministry. I am, of course, for it. I love football. I try to go to Premier League matches. I am a lover of all Azerbaijani football. I think the problems with combining work will not occur," Mammadyarov was quoted by www.azerisport.com. -06D--
