What did Ruzikul Berdiev say after the Super Cup victory?

"Nasaf" head coach Ruzikul Berdiev attended the press conference following the Super Cup victory.

– I’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate our fans. The match started unexpectedly for us with strong resistance from “Andijan”. But by the middle of the half, we managed to tilt the game in our favor.

– In the second half, we aimed to increase pressure on the opponent. I think today we played better and deserved the victory.

– We noticed changes in their tactical setup even in previous matches. Today we also sensed psychological changes in their team. The opponent started stronger than usual.

– We really wanted to win. We didn’t want the game to go to post-match series. The substitutions of Sherzod and Hebay boosted our activity. In short, the changes impacted the game.

– Sherzod hadn’t been training with us for a while. He only trained two or three times before the game. I respect the decision not to call Oybek to the national team. That’s their matter, and I won’t discuss it.

– Our performance improved in the second half due to tactical adjustments made in the dressing room. We changed the game to create discomfort for the opponent. We frequently won the ball under high pressure. However, our finishing let us down.

– “Andijan” had studied us well and managed to block our actions. Their players marked Oybek and Ceran effectively. That made things difficult for us. “Andijan” showed great determination today. We might have more skill, but they showed more fighting spirit.

– Our plan this year is to focus more on technical skill. As you may have noticed, we’re using Javohir more in a holding role. As I said before, Ceran’s experience is vital to us. He’s our key player in positional attacks. Around ten players left, but we selected and added 4-5 players to the squad.
