Nasaf head coach Ro'ziqul Berdiyev and goalkeeper Abduvohid Ne'matov attended a press conference ahead of tomorrow's match against Al Ahli.
Ro'ziqul Berdiyev:
- We are in the Elite competition of the Asian Champions League. Starting tomorrow, we will begin our race. Our opponent, Al Ahli, has a strong squad and great potential. Participating in such a tournament is not new for Nasaf; we have previously faced strong opponents at the level of Al Ahli. Our team is capable of adequately resisting any opponent. We are fully ready for tomorrow's game, and the guys are in a good mood. Of course, we will mobilize all our efforts for a positive result.
Abduvokhid Nematov:
- Peace be upon you. As our coach noted, tomorrow we will play against a strong team. We prepared well for this match. As a team, we strive to make every effort to please our fans.
- Tomorrow you will play against the current champion of the tournament. How did you prepare for this competition?
- As I mentioned above, our opponent is a serious team - the champion of the competition. He also recently won the Saudi Arabian Super Cup. This testifies to their strength and potential. We conducted the preparation process accordingly. I believe that tomorrow's result will also be positive.
- You have been leading the team for more than 12 years. In recent years, you have been one of Uzbekistan's most prize-winning teams, and what results are you aiming for in this competition?
- I have been coaching the team for 12 years, but I have been with the club for 26 years. I have been working first as a footballer, then as a coach. In recent years, Nasaf has achieved significant growth and intends to continue developing. I think our team is being formed on the basis of the correct system. This is the most important aspect for me. We are happy that our team is participating in the ACL Elite competition, and I am confident that this participation will be regular.
