Andijan coach comments on the dramatic defeat against OKMK

After the match between OKMK and Andijan (4:3), which was a high-scoring match in the 8th round of the Super League, the head coach of the visiting team, Alexander Khomyakov, took part in a press conference and shared his thoughts on the game.

“We could not keep the score, only despair remained”

“Indeed, after today's defeat, there was no other feeling left - only disappointment and despair. We did not play badly in the first half, we looked good in some situations. However, after the break, we could not act at the required level.

We knew that the opponent would be active in the last minutes. That is why it was necessary to keep the score in such a situation. Unfortunately, we could not develop our attacks well. We tried our best, but the result was not what we wanted,” says Alexander Khomyakov.

“OKMK played its own style, and we lost”

In response to a question from journalists, Khomyakov also expressed his views on the opponent team - OKMK:

“We knew in advance that OKMK would show its ability to score in the last minutes. They always rely on an attacking style of play. Even when we were one man outnumbered, we could not cause serious problems for the opponent.

In fact, it was at this stage that we should have completely dominated and kept the game under control. We lost on the wings, we began to lose in physical battles.

As a result, the opponent managed to use their game against us and won. I congratulate them on this result. They deserved the victory,” says Alexander Khomyakov.

In conclusion...

For “Andijan”, this defeat was not only a loss of points, but also psychologically difficult. Khomyakov's words show that the team is admitting its mistakes. Now the most important thing is to prepare for the next rounds and correct the mistakes.

What do you think - will Andijan be able to recover in the upcoming rounds and eliminate the shortcomings noted?
