What did the OKMK coach say after the dramatic match against Andijan?

After the high-scoring match between OKMK and Andijan (4:3) in the 8th round of the Super League, the head coach of the home team, Mirjalol Kasimov, participated in a press conference and expressed his thoughts on the game.

“I can only thank the players”

“First of all, I would like to thank our fans. I would also like to thank the Andijan fans. It was a match that was played in a special atmosphere and played on the nerves.

I would also like to thank my players. Even if they lost today, I would not have intended to criticize them.

There are such dramatic and emotionally charged matches in football. In the first half, we did not play badly, we had more of the ball, and Giyasov opened the score.

In such situations, the team needs to be able to show internal unity. The team rallied around Dilshod Yakubov and acted with even greater enthusiasm.

The first goal had an emotional effect. We all saw the second goal. As for the third goal, when I was young, they taught me that “a goal scored from a close angle is a goalkeeper’s mistake.” But despite this, the team found strength in spirit and fought until the end. The guys gave their all. I wish Andijan good luck in the upcoming games.”

“Even when it was 1:3, there was hope in my heart”

In response to a journalist’s question, Kasimov said that he still believed in his heart even when the team was losing 1:3:

“Football is such a sport that any situation can change. That’s why it’s the most popular and beloved game in the world.

The most important thing for me is for the team to fight bravely until the end. Of course, I had the intention to score a goal and at least keep the draw.

But the Creator rewarded our efforts accordingly. It’s important to act according to the result. Today we were able to do that.”

In conclusion…

OKMK was able to delight its fans with a game full of strong emotions on its field. Based on Mirjalol Kasimov's words, it can be said that not only tactics, but also passion, unity and sincerity are becoming the leading forces in the team.

What do you think - will this victory lead OKMK forward in a new spirit?
