“Surkhon” coach spoke openly about the defeat against Dynamo, rotation and problems in the attack

After the match "Surkhon" - "Dinamo" (0:1) in the 2nd round of the Uzbekistan Cup, the home team's coach Fevzi Davletov participated in a press conference and expressed his thoughts on the team's performance, defensive actions and future plans.

"After the goal, we took control of the game, but..."
"In the first half, we made positional mistakes in defense and in one of such situations we conceded a goal. But after the goal, the team pulled itself together and took the initiative. As always, the problem is in the conversion. There were enough opportunities, unfortunately, there were not enough clear shots on goal."

Defense problems - why no changes?
The journalists mentioned the shortcomings of Surkhan in defense in consecutive matches. The expert explained it this way:

“We have a rotation. We played five matches in two weeks. These problems were caused by mutual misunderstandings between the central defenders. Also, Nemathonov’s unexpected departure from the squad had an impact.”

Is there a problem with the last shot in the attack?

“Of course. We are working in this direction. But in such cases, a lot also depends on the player’s personal skills.”

Will a new striker be brought in?
“It’s too early to think about the future. All attention is now focused on Pakhtakor. There are shortcomings, but it’s useless to explain them now. We have a decisive match against Lochin ahead of us - we only need to think about winning.”

“The rotation was carried out taking into account the game against Pakhtakor”
We lost a lot of strength in the game against Mashal. Dynamo did not play their last game. That is why we rested some players. It was clear that we would rotate. Unfortunately, two mistakes we made determined the outcome of the game,” said Davletov. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
