In the first match of the Super League-2025, after the game between OKMK and "Bukhoro" (2:1), the home team's head coach Mirjalol Qosimov participated in the post-match press conference.
"I congratulate everyone on the holy month of Ramadan. I also sincerely congratulate all our women on the upcoming March 8 holiday. The first match of the championship is always difficult and emotional. It's not easy to start the season. Today both teams showed a good game as much as possible. We witnessed an intense, fast-paced, attacking, and combative game. Luck smiled upon us, and we managed to score a goal. It's too early to evaluate the quality of the game right now. Both teams performed well today," said Mirjalol Qosimov about today's match.
- How well do you think "Bukhoro" managed to resist OKMK today? How fair was the last-minute goal and the final score for today's game?
- I didn't say that "Bukhoro" played poorly. Both teams showed good resistance. My team also did not perform poorly based on the current situation. Now, regarding the last situation, I haven't seen a repeat of that situation. In my opinion, the defender aimed to be the first to get to the ball, but he couldn't reach it. I don't know how fair the situation was. It's hard to say anything right now. Everyone can make mistakes; perhaps there wasn't a mistake in that situation. For now, I am happy that my team won.
- OKMK retained the core of its main squad before the new season. Several young players and foreigners have signed contracts. How satisfied are you with the assembled squad at OKMK? What goals has the team set for itself in the Super League?
- Our goal is always the highest. In football, both teams go onto the field with 11 players. No team can play with 15 players. My demands on the boys are maximum. We need to make our fans happy, and the results will come by themselves. The head coach always wants to see the best players in his team. It's natural for there to be changes in the team; someone gets injured. I just told the players in the dressing room that we need to recover quickly. We will participate in 6 matches in April and May. Currently, we can utilize this squad, and I hope this squad brings as much benefit as possible.
- South Sudanese player Ajak Riak made his debut for OKMK today. How would you rate the striker's performance in today's game? Ali Abdurakhmonov, who replaced him, scored the winning goal...
- I won't praise one player while putting another down. This is one team. Riak joined the team only a week ago. He couldn't participate in the team's training sessions. I hope all the players we have signed will bring a lot of benefits to the team.
