The Kokand vs. Nasaf match will be remembered for heated arguments and tense moments
The match between Qo‘qon-1912 and Nasaf in the sixth round of the Super League will be remembered not only for the battles on the pitch but also for the tense situations in the technical zone. Zamin.uz reported this.
Following the 1-1 draw, a press conference featuring Nasaf coach Ro‘ziqul Berdiyev took place in a highly heated atmosphere. Zamin.uz analyzed the most important and controversial points of this debate.
According to the coach, the second half of the match was extremely intense. While the hosts held the advantage in the first half, the opponents increased their attacking pressure after the break and managed to open the scoring.
In Berdiyev's view, if Zafarmurod had capitalized on a good opportunity to score, the outcome of the game would have been different. Both teams fought for victory, and fans witnessed high-quality football.
A penalty awarded in the second half caused sharp protests from Nasaf representatives. Ro‘ziqul Berdiyev's entry onto the pitch, which resulted in a red card, raised many questions.
The coach explained the situation as follows: I did not enter the pitch to argue with the referee, but to calm down captain Umar Eshmurodov. I didn't want him to get emotional and receive a red card.
However, the referee misinterpreted my actions and took strict measures against me. Answering fans' questions about the team's intense play in previous years, Berdiyev emphasized the changes in the squad.
The current team is fundamentally different from the squad of five or six years ago. In particular, due to a lack of wingers, the tactical scheme has been adapted to play through the center.
Nevertheless, Nasaf is putting all its strength into every battle for prize-winning positions. The tight schedule in April is proving to be a serious test for the team.
The injury to main goalkeeper Abduvohid Neʼmatov has caused concern for the coaching staff. According to initial information, the injury is not that serious, but a final conclusion will be made after medical examination.
Problems with Davronov and G‘aybullayev highlighted how limited the bench is. According to Berdiyev, every key player being sidelined is a major loss for the team.
In conclusion, the coach separately acknowledged the functional readiness of the hosts. The Qo‘qon team stood out by remaining active even at the end of the game.
This indicates that their physical condition is high. Nasaf, despite the difficult circumstances, will continue to strive toward its goals.
