Shatskikh's thoughts

Maksim Shatskikh, the team's head coach, expressed his satisfaction with the game and praised the players who implemented his strategy. Shatskikh emphasized that the "Al Ahli" team was, frankly speaking, strong and experienced. Shatskikh admits the lack of individual skill for victory.

Erjan Tokotayev, the best player of the match, noted that the game was interesting. According to him, both teams created opportunities to score, but the score was not opened. Tokotayev expressed his dissatisfaction with the draw and his strong desire to win. "We lacked individual skill for our victory. In the upcoming matches, we will definitely achieve the necessary results," he said.

Change in the 75th minute

Shatskikh explained that he considered it necessary to switch to defensive tactics after the 75th minute of the game. According to him, there was a need for the players to get tired and resist the opponent's quick counterattacks. "It's not easy for young players to play in such important matches," the coach said.

Conclusion

After the match between "Andijan" and "Al Ahli," the comments of Shatskikh and Tokotayev show that the team performed well in both halves, but some nuances were missing for the victory. The result in the game was certainly liked by many, and we hope for even higher results in Andijan's future matches.
