What did Ruziqul Berdiev say about his team's preparation and new players?

The current champion of Uzbekistan, Nasaf, played a friendly match against Fakel, a representative of the Russian Premier League, in Antalya yesterday. We reported on the tense match that ended with a score of 0:0 on our website. After the match, Nasaf head coach Roziqul Berdiev gave an interview https://sports.uz/news/view/roziqul-berdiev-abduholiqov-chetdan-takliflar-bor-degandi--lekin-neftchiga-qoshilibdi-15-02-2025.

- Did you achieve what you wanted from the match against Fakel or were you not satisfied with something?
- You are not completely satisfied yet. Because the quality of the game will not be as good as we expected. After all, training camps are still going on. They are giving heavy loads. That is why they are working harder. Despite this, we are paying attention to the organizational aspects of the game and holding our matches. I think that through the games the guys will get into the necessary sports form.

- You have returned former players to the team and new players have also appeared. How is the adaptation of the new guys going? For example, what would you say about Rubin Hebei?
- Of course, I want to talk about Hebei, he has not played consistently for a year. It happened both when he went to Saudi Arabia and in Tunisia. That is why his condition is not as good as we expected. But he is working well in training. I think Rubin will be in good shape. I can also say the same about Husain Norchaev, he is not in optimal shape yet due to injuries and the lack of training. I hope that everything will be fine before our championship.

- How is Dragan Ceran?
- Dragan is not a stranger to us. “Nasaf” is not a stranger to him either. It would be wrong to say that the guys accepted him. What about Ceran “Nasaf”. We will certainly rely on Dragan’s experience. He will need his potential on the field and help the coaches somewhere.

- We thought that Bobir Abdukholikov would stay at “Nasaf”. What was your reaction to his departure? What actually happened?
- Bobir’s results last year did not satisfy the club management very much. We could not give him a chance because his demands were too high. In order to keep Abdukholikov, we made a lower offer than last year. But we were told that there were offers from abroad. But from what I heard, he joined the training camp of “Neftchi”. Through you, we would like to express our gratitude to Bobir and other players who left us. The guys helped us achieve our goal last year.

- The new season is about to begin. Nasaf has serious goals again. In addition, 16 clubs will now participate in the league. What are the new plans?
- Our plan is big. We will definitely set goals for ourselves. We have almost preserved our squad, and the management has given us the opportunity to get the necessary players. Our goal will be serious. We need to regain stability in our championship as soon as possible. We need to do our best in every game. The tasks ahead of us are high and we will definitely fight for it. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
