The 20th round of the Super League match between "Shurtan" and "Navbahor" was not only intense but also full of dramatic moments. The game remained interesting and surprising until the very end. After the match, Shurtan’s head coach Eldor Moiliev shared his thoughts and analysis with journalists at a press conference.
According to Moiliev, the match was spectacular, and both teams went on the field to win. "I am grateful to our fans, they supported us until the end. My players also gave everything on the field. But because of our mistakes, we conceded simple goals. We struggle to score and then concede easy goals. At the same time, we created many opportunities, but unfortunately, we could not win," said the coach.
The situation with the third goal was also interesting. Moiliev noted that the goalkeeper did not have to come forward since defenders were in position. However, the goalkeeper felt confident and made a mistake in a small episode. "Usually goalkeepers do not come out when defenders are fighting for the ball, and the distance to the goal is still long. We, however, gifted a goal to the opponent," said the coach.
The reasons for substituting Temur Mamasiddikov and Nuriddin Hasanov were also explained. "Temur moves well with the ball, but participates less in defense. Since we were leading, we replaced him with a player who contributes better to defense. Nuriddin said he could not play due to a micro-injury, so we substituted him," said Moiliev.
The coach also analyzed Shurtan’s game against strong teams. "In the last round against Nasaf, we also started well. It is not about the result, but about confidence in our strength. After the match with Nasaf, we worked more psychologically. We have a team that can challenge anyone, players just need to believe in their abilities. If we believe in ourselves, we can play on equal terms with any opponent," he added.
Regarding the result, Moiliev admitted that mistakes were the main reason. "Now, much is related to our errors. We concede simple goals, struggle to score. But compared to the first half of the season, we create more dangerous situations. We just need to use them," said the coach.
Also, Sardor Sa’dullaev’s performance replacing Jorabek Mannonov was analyzed. "Sardor is a good player. He also played well against Nasaf. In today’s match, he made a mistake only once and took the ball from the opponent once. As a defender, he performed his duties well," said Moiliev.
This match was not only intense and exciting for the fans but also became a source of inspiration thanks to the players’ fighting spirit, strategic actions, and readiness on the field. Shurtan’s moves and combative attitude left fans with vivid impressions and were filled with unexpected turns.
