Following the 2-1 victory between Nasaf and Khorezm in the 23rd round of the Super League, Qarshi's head coach, Ro'ziqul Berdiyev, participated in a press conference and discussed the team's upcoming victory and future plans.
At the beginning of his speech, Berdiyev congratulated the fans and focused on the result:
"I didn't specifically mention the game. Because in football, the match passes, but the result remains. We have been accumulating points lately. That's the most important thing now. "Khorezm" resisted us very well, especially creating chances in the first half. But when their strength diminished in the second half, the advantage shifted to us, and we secured an important victory," the coach said.
During the match, Berdiyev commented on the substitution of two foreign players:
"Unfortunately, the expected results were not observed. Therefore, we trusted other players to strengthen the attack."
The coach also commented on Umar Eshmurodov's appearance in the final minutes of the match:
"Umar has been in the starting lineup for many games and has accomplished great things. This time we wanted to give him a break, but due to the game situation, we added him from the bench."
Berdiyev commented on the new arrivals as follows:
"Nasaf is a big club. It's not easy to immediately adapt to such a team. It's natural for every player, especially foreign players, to undergo an adaptation process."
The club's preparations for the upcoming AFC Champions League match against Al-Hilal were also commented on:
"'Al Hilal' is one of the strongest clubs in Asia. A team overflowing with stars. We can't promise a definite result, but we will fully prepare the players, both physically and mentally. Fan support is essential above all else. If they are in the stadium, they will be the 12th player for us. Support on social networks also gives great spiritual strength."
The coach also commented on the condition of experienced striker Dragan Cheran, stating:
"Of course, age factors have an impact. But he still helps the team a lot. We need Cheran's experience and proactiveness in initiating attacks and creating situations."
