Sergey Lushan: "Our activation in the last part of the game was a matter of tactics"

After the match "Sogdiana" - "Navbahor" (2:3) in the 2nd round of the Super League, the visiting coach Sergey Lushan participated in a press conference.

— The match was evenly contested. Whoever scores the most goals in football wins. I liked the game, and I would like to thank the players. I think the fans also liked our game. Perhaps a draw would have been a fair result, but we used our opportunities. The opponent also had two opportunities, but they could not score. This is football.

— How did the FIFA ban affect you?
— I will not talk about internal matters. Our team is completely new. There are only two people from last year's squad. Everyone in Uzbekistan has kept their squad, but the situation is different with us. We took quality players based on our capabilities. Somewhere it looks similar, somewhere it doesn't. We have problems in defense and attack. We will continue to work.

— Alisher Odilov and Ruslan Zhiyanov came on as substitutes. Was this a tactical decision or were they not ready to play 90 minutes?
— It was more of a tactical decision. I told them that they needed to step up their game in the last 30 minutes. In the last game, we couldn't put pressure on them. In this game, we played defensively in the first half, and in the second half, we brought on young and fast players. I can't say that we will always do this tactic, but today our plan came true.
