Felix Sánchez: "Pakhtakor" is currently recording unusual results"

Pakhtakor - Al Sadd, the 8th round of the Elite ACL, were attended by the head coach of the visitors, Felix Sanchez, and the player, Abdusamad Bunasser.

- We arrived here to hold the last round. We have already decided on the play-offs. Such matches are a great opportunity for the players to show themselves and get more game practice. We will need some time to get used to the weather. Pakhtakor is currently recording unusual results, but despite this, the team is defending well and has conceded very few goals. Therefore, our opponent will try to win tomorrow. We are ready for this and will strive to record a good result tomorrow.

- Pakhtakor needs a win tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a difficult game. And we have already qualified for the next round.

- Mr. Head Coach, you just talked about Pakhtakor's well-organized defense. Also, Pakhtakor is the team that has scored the least in the Elite ACL, and your opponent tomorrow has only managed to score twice in 7 matches. Isn't the opponent's attack weak? How can this be useful to you?

- In my opinion, the ACL is one of the most difficult competitions in our region. In such games, there may not be many chances. It is difficult to defeat every opponent. We will try to show our game tomorrow. We know that Pakhtakor recently got a new head coach. The new coach is renewing the team. Playing against Pakhtakor will be beneficial for us, in such competitions you can't choose your opponent. Whichever opponent you face, you will have to face them based on their playing style.

- You mentioned that Pakhtakor is working with a new head coach. The team has also added 6-7 new players to its squad. How difficult was it to study Pakhtakor, which has only played one official match so far? How difficult can it be to play against such a new team?

- Analyzing the opponent is part of the preparation. Our study of Pakhtakor was a little different. As you said, the team has signed several new players. The new squad and the new head coach need some time. We are aware of the opponent's situation. The most important thing is that we need to focus on our own game and improve the quality of our own game. Such situations often occur in the Qatari championship. We have had to play against such "new" teams on many occasions.
