Following the So'g'diyona vs. OKMK (4:1) match in the 21st round of the Super League, the visitors' head coach, Mirjalol Qosimov, shared his thoughts on the match at a press conference.
"What can I say, we played a very scattered game." First of all, I apologize to our fans. I congratulate Sogdiana on their worthy victory. In the first, third, and fourth goals, we made mistakes like inexperienced children. At the same time, the level of skill of the opposing players was also a decisive factor. Doriyev, in particular, demonstrated how effectively he could capitalize on opportunities with his goals. But we must look for fault in ourselves. We shouldn't have made such simple mistakes. We will analyze these cases in depth. And now I can say with certainty that as a result of three major errors in defense, we saw goals in our goal," said Kasimov.
The coach also commented on the decline in the team's performance in the second round:
- The reason is simple. Such mistakes cannot be made. Opportunities should be converted into goals. After the goal was scored, the guys seemed to have the confidence that they would "get back a goal." But football doesn't always go as we think, there are opponents. For example, when the score was 3:1, players like Ali Abdurahmonov or Nodir Abdurazzoqov had good opportunities. But we couldn't use it. This is the main reason.
Kasimov answered the question about the team's loss in the center:
- No, we had good attacks in the first half too. In the second half, they decreased, that's true. But we fought to the end. The beauty of football is that not everything goes according to plan. Because there is also an opposing team on the field. Matches against Sogdiana are always intense and full of struggles. Today, our goal was scored in three very simple situations.
According to the coach, making many mistakes in one game allows for correction for the future:
- Maybe it's not bad that we made a lot of mistakes in one game. Because they say it's better to do everything in one game than to lose all five games by making one mistake. Both we and the opponent often play outdoor football. "That's why sometimes the results don't turn out as expected," said Kasimov.
