In the 19th round of the Super League, Samarkand’s “Dinamo” secured an important 1-0 win over a strong opponent, OKMK. After the match, the team’s head coach Vadim Abramov attended the press conference and gave detailed answers to the journalists’ questions.
Abramov first addressed the fans:
— We achieved a long-awaited victory in Samarkand and were able to make our supporters happy. Big thanks to everyone who supported us both on the field and in the stands. Today we faced a strong team like OKMK, one of the leaders of the league. That’s why this victory is twice as valuable. The boys put in a lot of effort, and now we need to recover quickly and prepare for the next match.
The coach also noted the strengths of the opponent:
— OKMK is always dangerous in the final minutes of the game; their chances of scoring late are very high. Taking this into account, we brought on players who are strong in the air. Fortunately, the players fulfilled their tasks today. Thanks again to the team.
Abramov also explained the lineup rotation:
— Before every game, we carefully study our opponent and set the lineup accordingly. For instance, our main goalkeeper isn’t very tall. Since OKMK has many players who are good in the air, this time we put Edem Nemanov in goal. We also made similar adjustments in other lines.
At the press conference, the topic of infrastructure and the new stadium was raised:
— Many thanks to our regional governor. All conditions are being created for “Dinamo”. I believe that within this year, our new base will be completed and put into use. Everything is happening step by step.
The coach also spoke about the injured player:
— We hope Ulugbek Khoshimov recovers as soon as possible. Together with the doctors, we’ll decide if he can be ready for the match against “Sogdiana”.
Regarding the league standings, Abramov said:
— Money doesn’t play on the field, players do. Of course, there are clubs with bigger budgets, but we will do everything possible as well. We finish the season against “Nasaf”, and it’s possible that a lot will be decided in that match.
He also commented on the atmosphere at the stadium:
— I want to congratulate our fans. Today the stadium had an amazing atmosphere. The supporters acted like a 12th player. Samarkand’s fans always deserve special recognition. They constantly support us, and we feel a great responsibility to them. That’s why I began the press conference with our long-awaited home win — because the fans had really missed this feeling.
In conclusion, “Dinamo’s” victory over OKMK was important not only for points in the table but also for the team’s morale. Abramov and his players clearly understand that many challenges lie ahead and are determined to aim for new heights.
