What did Fevzi Davletov say about "Surkhon"'s defeat?

Following the 5th round Super League match between "Nasaf" and "Surkhon" (1:0), the visiting team’s head coach Fevzi Davletov spoke at a press conference.

"In the first half, we made too many mistakes. 'Nasaf' is a team that doesn’t forgive such errors. They had many chances, but Potapov saved us. During the conceded goal, our defenders should have supported Potapov. In the second half, we made some changes and tried to attack, but after the red card, we should have been more aggressive. We had two or three chances but couldn't convert them. We need to work on that aspect. 'Nasaf' defended very well," Davletov commented.

– What was your goal for today’s match?
– We aim to win every match. Today was no exception.

– Last season, 'Surkhon' had a strong attacking line, but this season the team seems to be struggling offensively...
– Yes, we lack aggression.

– Potapov returned last round, and 'Surkhon' won. Today he saved the team several times again. Why didn’t he play in the first three rounds?
– Artem missed January and February due to injury and couldn’t prepare fully for the season. In earlier matches, we conceded goals due to avoidable mistakes. Today he saved us.

– Your team played attractive football in the first half, but in the second half started wasting time. Was that your instruction?
– No, it was just emotions.

– How do you rate today’s refereeing?
– There’s a commission responsible for evaluating referees. I can only speak about my own team’s performance.

– When Khamidjonov received a yellow card, you signaled him to calm down, but he reacted emotionally and was substituted. How did you interpret his reaction?
– You’ve seen how he behaved last season too. When a referee gives a card, you just step away. No need for extra words. He got emotional, so I subbed him out to prevent a second yellow. Remember, he got a red card last season. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
