Javohir Siddiqov has also earned a spot on the AFC symbolic team

Following the second round of the AFC Champions League, the team of the week has been announced, according to the AFC official website. The list also includes midfielder Javokhir Siddikov, who defends the opponents' honor - he received a worthy assessment for his unique performance.

The match against Al-Hilal wasn't easy for Nasaf. The match went at an extremely fast pace, with both teams fighting fiercely for control of the center. Despite the defeat (2:3), Siddikov became the author of the second goal, reduced the score, and maintained the intrigue. His range of action on the pitch, his sharp passes, and his findings from coming out of pressure gave the team a repeated impulse - it was these aspects that brought his name to a symbolic composition.

This match was a big lesson for Ro'ziqul Berdiyev's team. Quick decision-making on the defensive and midfield lines, finding the right solution against the opponent's high pressure - will become a decisive factor in the next games. The activity and initiative of leaders like Siddiqov on the field naturally helps maintain the team's overall rhythm.

Notably, Javohir's personal form shows growth dynamics. He not only scored goals but also performed multifaceted tasks in building attacks, striving to create danger in situations beyond the standards. Such indicators do not go unnoticed by such influential structures as the AFC - inclusion in the symbolic list is also an expression of this trust.

Now the focus is on the 3rd round. Nasaf will play away against UAE's leading club, Shabab Al Ahli. The match is scheduled to start on October 21 at 21:00 Tashkent time. A relatively cautious start, intense midfield struggles, and quick wing attacks are expected to be key factors in the opponent's game.

The opposition fans are expecting character from the team. One victory completely changes the situation, raises rating points and mood. Siddiqov's entry into the symbolic team is an important motivation in this regard: as long as the leaders are on the field, every game of the "dragons" will be a struggle until the end.

In short, the result of the 2nd round has already been recorded, but the season is still ahead. If "Nasaf" finds its game, the goals in the qualifying stage are not an unattainable dream. Ahead are the away test on October 21st and the readiness of players like Javohir Siddiqov for new challenges.
