After the match “Nasaf” - “Bukhara” (5:0) in the 21st round of the Uzbekistan Super League, the head coach of the opposition Rozikul Berdiev participated in a press conference and expressed his thoughts on the game and the team’s condition.
About the game
— I congratulate my team on the victory today. We showed a beautiful and effective game. We analyzed the recent games of “Bukhara” and know that they defend well. Therefore, we prepared carefully. We managed to break through the five-man defense line, and after that the game became much easier for us.
Tactics against the opponent
— Since “Bukhara” defended with a large number of people, we entered the field today with three strikers. The scheme we chose was part of the plan developed before the game, and it paid off. Whoever was in good shape, entered the field. In general, everything went well.
About Yusuf Otubanjo's game
— Yusuf is not the strongest player physically, but he is very skilled technically. His main advantage is that he feels comfortable in the opponent's penalty area. That is why he had a great impact on the game today.
Return of players from the national team
— We agreed on this issue with Timur Kapadze in advance. After our match in the ACL Elite stage was decided, we asked the UzPFL to postpone the match, and they helped. The national team coaches also returned our players earlier. I would like to thank them. Alibek Davronov was left in the national team, because Kapadze said that if a player is important, I will keep him.
Team mood before the ACL
— In the Elite ACL, the opponents are attracting strong and famous European stars. We understand very well that there are no easy opponents in this competition. We will try to face everyone with dignity. If there is desire and discipline, all obstacles can be overcome.
The difference between the game with Bukhara and the ACL
— You can't compare these two competitions. In the Super League, offensive efficiency is important, while in the ACL, discipline and defense come first. Every little detail is of great importance there.
