The incident involving Aliyev in today’s match sparked major discussion among fans. National team coach Islom Ismoilov, commenting on the situation, admitted that criticism may arise. However, he emphasized that the most important thing for him is the honor of the team and the country.
According to Ismoilov, before the match a long conversation was held with the players, and they were strictly warned not to give in to emotions and not to fall for provocations under any circumstances. Despite this, the unexpected situation on the field upset the coach. He stated that the necessary reprimand was given to the player afterwards and that he considers this decision correct.
The coach believes that such situations serve as an important lesson for footballers. “They are no longer children, they are taking steps into professional football,” Ismoilov said. According to him, such episodes increase the athletes’ sense of responsibility.
