Vitaliy Levchenko: "Nasaf is a very strong opponent, we were able to play on equal terms with the hosts"

After the match "Nasaf" - "Neftchi" (0:0) in the 3rd round of the Super League, the head coach of the guests Vitaly Levchenko participated in a press conference.

- First of all, I would like to congratulate the people of Uzbekistan on the holiday of Ramadan. Today we went out on the field only for victory. We were not lucky in some places. We are working to ensure that the team plays a stable game. We have shortcomings in finishing situations. Perhaps such situations are related to the tone of the game. We work seriously in training, and we do not expect easy games ahead.

- The current composition of "Neftchi" has a lot of strong players. What is the reason for the 3 draws in a row?
- As I said, we may lack the tone of the game. We will eliminate the shortcomings from game to game. "Nasaf" is a very strong opponent, we were able to play on an equal footing with the hosts. If we had taken advantage of the situation, we could have probably won.

- Many people think that "Neftchi" is repeating "Navbahor" from last season...
- The teams can be similar. We have a clear goal and task in front of us. We are working seriously on this. As the players understand each other, our game will become stronger.

- What is the reason for Vladimir Jovovich being on the bench?
- The coaching staff knows the player's condition better. We decided to give him a little rest, but according to our plan, he was supposed to join the game in the second half and organize unexpected attacks for the opponent. As I said, we are getting stronger from game to game. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
