“We will get out of this situation
After the match between "Navbahor" and "Andijan" (1:0) within the valley derby, the head coach of our team, Islam Ahmedov, took part in the press conference.
About the game
Frankly, you wonder what to say after such a game. First of all, we apologize to our visiting fans. We are very grateful to them for coming all this way and supporting us till the end.
As for the game, it took some time for us to recover in the first half. Frankly speaking, in the first half we gave the reins of the game to the opponent. But in the second half, the guys showed their game, we organized attacks. Unfortunately, there was no luck in the end.
- We all know that Aziz Turg‘unboyev has always played in the midfield. In today's meeting, he acted in the defensive line. What was the main reason for this?
To be honest, we didn't get enough players for the team after the first round. We could not attract the necessary players to the team. That's why we had to keep the team we have and start training with the existing players.
Due to the length of the season and the tight schedule, injuries have become more common. On top of that, we have a player — Muhammadjonov also left the team. For this reason, it is necessary to play players who are not suitable for their position in some positions.
We took into account the fact that Aziz plays on the left foot, as well as the fact that he acted as the fifth central defender in the national team. We prepared him for this position during this week. Before that, we were playing Abduvahid, but he was also injured. We decided to play Azizbek in this position because there was no other option in the last training sessions.
— The contract with Dragan Cheran was cancelled. In addition, Ashortia was injured, and To‘xtaxo‘jayev was not on the roster for today's match. What does this indicate?
As I said, the season is going very fast and there are injuries among our players. Therefore, Ashortia and To‘xtaxo‘jayev are injured. Islom To‘xtaxo‘jayev, who was going to play in today's match, was injured after the match with "Sogdiyona" and could not participate today. And Dragan left of his own accord, considering that he could not help the team according to mutual agreement.
— Your team is getting closer to the danger zone. Will the team recover and find strength in the next rounds?
God willing, we will do our best to change the situation. Because we have situations during the game, but somewhere we are not lucky. The guys are fighting to the end.
It was a different story if the team was playing badly and acting depressed. I think we will get out of this situation. Together with the guys, we will overcome this difficulty. They can find strength in themselves. We will get out of this situation by recovering mentally and physically.
- Based on today's match, "Andijan" team's defense and attacks are not bad. However, it is difficult to create scoring chances at the crucial stage. Do you think there is a way to improve team play through leading players?
We didn't attack much in the first half. But if you saw in the second half, the team moved forward, we controlled the ball in the opponent's field. In the final part of the game, we had a lot of players in the offensive line, we organized attacks. Just no luck.
