Rozikul Berdiev: Battle in the heat, caution and important three points

Within the framework of the 12th round of the Super League, the "Nasaf" – "Navbahor" match once again attracted the attention of fans with its importance and intensity. In this duel, held at the stadium in Karshi, the hosts' coach, Ruzikul Berdiev, who won with a single goal, made important statements at the post-match press conference. His words reflected not only team tactics, but also a personal approach to the game, the physical condition and psychological preparation of the players.

Important three points and tactical victory

"First of all, I dedicate this victory to our team and our fans," Berdiev began. "We played against a very serious opponent. It was clear that 'Navbahor' had prepared well before the match and demonstrated a very strong and disciplined defense. Today, there were not many chances to move with the ball. But we forced them to make a mistake in defense and scored the decisive goal. In such a balanced match, getting three points is a big achievement."

Weather conditions and game tempo

Berdiev did not hide that the current weather conditions affected the quality of the game. "Of course, hot weather slows down players' activity. That's why the pace was not very high. In such games, the result comes first," said the coach. According to him, the team stuck to tactical order and used the chances efficiently.

Why was Khebay not in the starting lineup?

Journalists asked Berdiev why Rubin Khebay remained on the bench. "This is fully related to his sports form. Khusain Norchaev is currently in top shape. He may not have scored, but he worked a lot for the team. Khebay came on as a substitute and played well. If his shot had been a goal, it would certainly have been one of the best goals of the round," said the coach.

Condition of those returning from the national team

Speaking about the players returning from the national team, Ruzikul Berdiev stressed that this factor always influences. "Preparation in the national team and in the club differs. This affects the player's form. For example, Akmal Mozgovoy helped today, but we did not see the game we expected from him. Each player has a different recovery time," he explained.

Akmal's disputes on the field

To the journalists' question, "Akmal has recently been getting into disputes more often," Berdiev replied: "He is a hot-blooded guy. There are many such players, but they should be able to control themselves. Sometimes unnecessary disputes can lead to a card. We will definitely talk about this."

Why have there been fewer long-distance shots?

The coach explained that "Nasaf" players have recently been trying to score from close to the goal. "I always instruct the guys to shoot from long distance. But decisions are made depending on the situation. Sometimes the defenders' walls are strong and a player cannot find a free position. Today 'Navbahor' showed exactly such a strong defense, so there were few bright moments."

Why did Nasrullaev not enter the field?

Team member Sherzod Nasrullaev had recently returned from the national team and did not have time to fully train with the team. "In addition, he had a minor injury. We were careful and did not make a risky decision. I hope Nasrullaev will return to the squad soon," the coach concluded.

Conclusion: Caution and discipline bore fruit

"Nasaf" played smartly today, leaving little chance for the opponent. The important three points may be decisive for the team's position at the top of the table. Once again, Ruzikul Berdiev has shown himself to be a coach who carefully analyzes each player's condition and finds balance in achieving results. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
