At a press conference following the Andijan vs. Mash'al (2-0) match in the 4th round of the Super League, the hosts' head coach, Samvel Babayan, shared his thoughts.
- Peace be upon you. I congratulate all our fans on the victory. After the defeats, this victory was very necessary for us. The reaction of our football players to today's match was also important. The guys showed good football and good tempo. The main thing is that we won. The score could have been even bigger for us to move more freely. The main thing is that our team plays on the field for victory. I must also emphasize that we have successfully conducted the recovery process.
We are trying to show a game that dominates the field. We want our players to play at full strength. We have made changes to the starting lineup. Damir Temirov started in the starting lineup. We need a little more time to fully shape our game. I think our game will open up even more and we will make our fans happy.
- I congratulate you on the upcoming holiday of Ramadan Hayit and Navruz. Obviously, you are satisfied with the result. Are you satisfied with the game?
- If you've noticed, I didn't sit from the beginning to the end of the game. I gave instructions throughout the discussion. If the coach says he is fully satisfied with the game, he can end his career. First of all, thank you to the players for showing character. I want to thank them for recovering after the unsuccessful games and fighting for victory. The guys showed themselves, acted aggressively, and strived to be active in attacks. I would especially like to acknowledge our captain Dragan Cheran for his good pressing performance. I can say that he set a record for showing activity in this regard.
After the goal, we had to intensify our attacks again. This was a risky calculation. In the second half, we started playing more aggressively. As soon as we put pressure on the opponent, they started making mistakes. We should have done the same in the first half, but in the second half, thanks to the pressure, we achieved a positive result. When playing with a large number of players on the field, you need to play by choosing the necessary style, and then you can achieve the intended goal. We kept the opponent under pressure until the end of the game.
- Your team has had many dangerous attacks, but there's a lack of adequate utilization. What are your thoughts on this?
- I think it's good that we created many opportunities. We are working on this. We are forming a new team. We started building the team from scratch. Therefore, in many cases, the need for revision is evident. We will carry out the necessary work on the effective use of opportunities, and it is up to us to work on its solution.
"I congratulate all the fans of our country on the holiday of Navruz and Ramadan Hayit, which is celebrated in our country, and wish everyone peace and prosperity," the club's press service quoted Babayan as saying.
