"Pakhtakor" striker Igor Sergeev expressed his thoughts after the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Asian Elite Champions League against "Al Hilal" (1:0).
— What are your impressions of the game?
— We won for the first time in history, of course we are happy. The weather was cold, minus temperature, but the guys worked hard. We tried to follow the coach's instructions, sometimes we succeeded, sometimes not. We wanted to make the difference in the score bigger because there is a next game, but the coaches, the guys, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, there is a return match, and it will be several times more difficult there. Because they will play at home, their squad will be complete. Even though I didn't play in the starting lineup today, I'm happy.
— How do you feel after recovering from your injury?
— I played in two official matches, and before that I played 5-6 games in the training camp and the injury doesn't bother me. Right now I'm trying not to think about the injury and I'm training so that it doesn't happen again.
— You played against Al Hilal before and scored a goal. What's the difference between that Al Hilal and today's Al Hilal?
— The difference is obvious. There were good players before, but not at the world level, but at the Asian level. The whole world knows the current names. In general, not only Al Hilal, but all of Saudi Arabia has changed completely. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
