After the tense match between "Andijan" and "Navbahor" (0:1) in the framework of the Valley derby, a press conference was held with the participation of the home team coach Samvel Babayan. The pain of defeat, the morale of the team and the fate of Oston Urunov - Zamin.uz has collected the most important points of this conversation in one article.
The "curse" of the last minutes: The third mistake repeated
Samvel Babayan called conceding a goal at the end of the game one of the most painful and unexpected moments in his career. According to the coach, the team showed aggressive and meaningful football until the 70th minute.
"To lose in the last minute for the third game in a row is a real lesson. The guys worked hard on the field, but we couldn't keep control until the end. The mistakes made in the matches with Kyzylkum and Nasaf were repeated today. We will analyze this situation in depth and, of course, try to justify the trust of the regional leadership and the fans," the coach said.
When will Oston Urunov play?
One of the questions that interests fans the most is when star legionnaire Oston Urunov will join the lineup. Babayan shared some positive news in this regard:
- Current situation: All agreements between the club and the player have been finalized.
- Obstacle: Only organizational permission from FIFA is awaited.
- Deadline: Most likely, this issue will be resolved positively by the next match.
Lack of passion and "Andijan" spirit
Although the team has many skilled players, the coach is concerned about the low efficiency of the attack. In his opinion, some players lack the "Andijan" passion that local fans expect. Babayan singled out Usmanali for his dedication and stressed that he expects similar dedication from others.
Championship goal: It's time to lay the foundation
Speaking about the tasks set at the beginning of the year, the coach noted that the team is still in the process of formation:
- Mission: To create a solid foundation of personnel and quality of play for the championship.
- Pressure: It is not easy to work in the valley and feel responsible for the fans.
- The future: "My main task is to take the club to new heights. This will take a little time and confidence. "Andijan" will still show its potential in Uzbek football," promised Samvel Babayan.
According to the coach, despite the defeats, the club's infrastructure and squad are fully worthy of being among the leaders. Now it's time to get out of the depression and start a winning streak.
Dear fans, do you think Samvel Babayan will be able to lead Andijan to the top three? What exactly do you think the team lacks to win?
