What did Kamoliddin Tojiev say about the victory over "Navbahor"?
After the match of the 15th round of the Super League between "Pakhtakor" and "Navbahor" (2:0), the hosts' head coach Kamoliddin Tojiev took part in the press conference.

"Today we completely controlled the game. The instructions we gave the guys and our game plan worked. We created many chances, and the score could have been bigger. Today, the players demonstrated a national team-level performance. In fact, all our players are national team-level players. Today they proved it," said Kamoliddin Tojiev about today's match.

- Last season, in the second round, "Pakhtakor" suffered a heavy 2:5 defeat away to "Navbahor". Did that heavy defeat serve as additional motivation for you in today's match?
- In that match, at 2:2, we got a red card. Then the score became big. The guys themselves had strong motivation. Again, that defeat...

- Three key "Navbahor" players — Alisher Odilov, Abbos Gulomov, and Ruslan Jiyanov — could not show a bright game today. Did you instruct your defenders to personally mark these three players?
- We watched and analyzed their games. "Navbahor" has fast wings, so we played with five defenders.

- Did "Navbahor" show the resistance you expected today?
- In the last 3–4 matches, our opponent played very seriously. But today, their game did not work out.

- There are reports about Muhammadali Usmonov and Shahzod Azmiddinov moving from "Pakhtakor" to "Andijan". How true are these reports?
- I haven't heard about it. Maybe the club received offers about them, but for now, we need them.

- There are rumors that Aziz Turgunboev and Hojimat Erkinov are returning to "Pakhtakor". How true are these reports? There are also rumors about Bobir Abdikholikov signing with the team...
- Everything with Bobir is 100% settled. Negotiations with Erkinov are ongoing. It's not final yet, but 90% is done. As for Turgunboev — it's still unclear.

- "Pakhtakor" is in great shape now. What kind of "Pakhtakor" do you want to see? How close was today's match to your ideal?
- We played very well today. We must continue like this. Now we need to work on physical preparation.

- How much will today's victory help the team return to the title race?
- We haven't left the title race yet. Everything continues. "Pakhtakor" always fights to the end.

- Why was Hojiakbar Alijonov not included in the lineup, and why did Umar Adkhamzoda remain on the bench?
- Alijonov caught a cold a few days ago. Yesterday, the club doctor gave him an injection, but it was not enough. He was not ready for today's match. Umar played in the last match. Today, we planned to field Mahamadzhanov.

- Do you agree that today's match was a six-point game?
- Yes.

- "Pakhtakor" won a beautiful victory, but the team has serious problems with finishing. How do you plan to fix this?
- We just need to work on it. There is no other way. There is a break ahead. During the break, we will practice finishing.

- Many favorites have already left the Cup. How do you assess "Pakhtakor's" chances in the Uzbekistan Cup?
- Now it is difficult to play with any team. For example, we played with "Mobi-uz" until the last minutes.

- Are there players who may leave the team in the summer?
- There are players in the squad who are not getting playing time. They need more practice. You will find out about this soon.
