The current champion of the Super League, Nasaf, is conducting the final stage of training in Turkey.

This year, the Dragons have returned several experienced players to the squad. In particular, Umar Eshmurodov has been recruited to the defensive line. The player who played for the Malaysian club Selangor last season will again defend the honor of the Dragons. Eshmurodov shared his thoughts on training for the new season.

- Is Nasaf ready to retain its current championship?
- Of course. This year, Nasaf will also fight for the main prize in all tournaments. I can say that our training camp in Turkey was very useful and useful for preparing for the season. We played in control matches against good teams. There is still some time before the start of the championship. Until then, we will correct our shortcomings and bring our physical condition to an optimal state.

- Which team do you see as a serious opponent on the way to the championship?
- In the Super League, you need to approach each match seriously and collect points. There are players who have added good players to their ranks. I expect teams like "Pakhtakor", "Neftchi", "Navbahor", OKMK, "Sogdiana" to fight for the championship just like us.

- This year, 3 Kashkadarya teams will play in the Super League. What do you expect from interesting derbies?
- There will be good derbies, no doubt. There is a lot of interest in football in Kashkadarya. In this regard, I congratulate "Shurtan" and "Mash'al" on their promotion to the Super League.

- How many goals will Dragan Ceran and Rubin Hebai score this year?
- I don't know how many goals they will score, but I believe that they will be of great benefit to the team.

- You were the main defender in the national team during Katanec's time. What did you learn the most from him?
- Katanec helped us grow in many ways. He showed us that we still have a lot to work on, especially in the physical aspect. We are grateful to him for this and wish him good health. In the upcoming games, every opponent is dangerous. We need to play systematically and collect maximum points.
