Important Statements Before the Super Cup Match Between "Nasaf" and "Andijon"

The Super Cup final match between "Nasaf" and "Andijon" in Uzbekistan has generated great interest. In a press conference, the head coach of the Qarshi team, Roziqul Berdiev, and defender Huseyn Norchaev shared important thoughts about their team. They emphasized the great significance of the game and mentioned that they have made great preparations to restore the trust of the fans and win the trophy.

"Good evening. Tomorrow’s game will be in an excellent atmosphere, and we expect it to be a real celebration with the fans. This Super Cup is a one-match competition, so there will be many attacks and intense battles, and we have prepared accordingly. We really want to win the trophy. The team's mood is at the highest level," said Roziqul Berdiev.

"We have prepared well for tomorrow's match. We will go on the field for victory," said Huseyn Norchaev.

– Are you not concerned about the instability in the defense of "Nasaf"? Eshmurodov, Muhammadiev, and Golban have not shown the expected level?
– I think the question is a bit misleading. I’ve said before about Muhammadiev’s game and experience. He runs faster than some young players. We are on the eve of the Super Cup. Our team is in first place in the league. Every team has its weaknesses. If there were problems in defense, we wouldn’t have seen such results. We do have shortcomings, but the performance of our defenders satisfies us.

– As a head coach, you haven’t lost to Maxim Shatskikh. Does this give you a psychological advantage?
– This is definitely statistics. I’ve said this before. When I worked at "Pakhokor", we achieved good results. But tomorrow’s game will be on a different level. Maxim is working with another team. We will try to improve our statistics. For me, the success of the team comes first. We approach this game very seriously.

– Can we say that winning tomorrow for "Nasaf" will wash away the disappointment of leaving the Cup?
– It seems that the results of last year are repeating. We left the Cup early and showed bad performances at some stages. But in the end, we won the Super Cup. We should not look back. We need to look forward. We have the championship and the Super Cup ahead of us. The situation in the Cup doesn’t affect us. In the last Cup match, our main goal was different, as I mentioned.

– In the last 3 games, Sherzod Nasrullayev has been left out of the squad. What is the reason for this?
– Sherzod is one of our key players. He hasn’t been in the squad primarily due to injury and illness. He has been recovering in recent games. He is also preparing for tomorrow’s match. Depending on the situation, we may use his abilities.

– Will caution regarding the players called up to the national team be a major plan for tomorrow's match?
– We have our own goal. The Super Cup is the main focus in tomorrow's game. They also understand the importance of this match. The players will use all their abilities.

– If the game goes to penalties, will players like Ne’matov be brought on again?
– If the game goes to penalties, we will have more players available. Last year, we showed our skill in penalty situations. We trust our players, and in yesterday’s training, we had a special competition on penalties.

– Maxim Shatskikh said that there will be no special preparation for penalties. Will you be preparing for penalties in today’s practice?
– Today's practice will be light and focused on adapting to the stadium. We won’t be working on tactical or technical standard situations.

– How important is the support of the fans?
– "Andijon" has a strong advantage with their fans. In Kashkadarya, they have fans who are just as passionate. Tomorrow we will play in an excellent atmosphere. It will definitely be enjoyable in all aspects.

– Since it’s a one-off game, anything can happen. Do you have any pre-planned tactics against "Andijon"? Who will play and who won’t?
– You are right, it is one game. "Andijon" has shown good performances against "Pakhokor", OTMK, and us. We will be paying serious attention to the opponent. Tomorrow, we need to play orderly. We are preparing with a full squad, and there are no injured or unfit players.

– "Nasaf" has lost twice in the Super Cup. In those games, Cheran scored decisive goals. Did his arrival raise the team’s skill level?
– You know, when we invited Cheran, we already knew his skill level. Such players are rare in the Super League. He scored goals for us in Samarkand and Yaypanda. After that, we won the Super Cup twice. He will help again. His help will be significant. Our goal is not for him to run a lot. But his statistics show that he runs over 10 km. His self-control and leadership qualities are what we need.
