What did Roziqul Berdiyev say about today's victory of "Nasaf"?

After the match between “Nasaf” and “So‘g‘diyona” (1:0) in the first round of the Super League, the host team's head coach Ro‘ziqul Berdiyev participated in a press conference.

- It is always nice to start the season with a victory. First of all, I congratulate everyone on the opening of the new football season.

If we ignore one situation, we hardly gave the opponent any chances in today's game. “So‘g‘diyona” likes to play with the ball. Therefore, we needed to be more attentive in defense. I think apart from that situation where the ball hit the post, the opponent could not create any goal-scoring opportunities. We had more chances in attack.

- About the new players ...
- We cannot call them new. Cheran, Umar, or Suhrob, because they are our own players. Rubin Khebay could not play today due to illness. The purpose of inviting them is that we need experience and skill. They will be of great help to us in the future.

- Is Nasrullayev's injury serious?
- I think he will join our squad in the next games. He got a minor injury in training. He still wanted to help. He is an important player for us.

- Was Igor Golban brought in to waste time or did you feel the need for him in the final minutes?
- The purpose of bringing Golban in was that the opponent was focusing on long passes. In the end, we needed a strong player to withstand set pieces and long passes.

- A foreign goalkeeper has not been involved for a long time. Have you aimed to increase competition in this regard?
- Unexpectedly, Umid Ergashev left our team. If he had stayed, we might not have signed another goalkeeper. Therefore, we had to consider a new goalkeeper option.

- How will playing time be provided to goalkeepers during the season?
- When necessary, whoever is ready will be given the opportunity. If someone makes a mistake, their competitor will come on the field next time.

- A tough season awaits 'Nasaf' ahead. What are the plans during the season?
- We have a sufficient squad. Several players from the youth team have been involved.

- What is the reason for Bobir Abdixoliqov leaving the team?
- He aimed to try himself abroad. He became a champion in Kazakhstan and Belarus. Perhaps he wants to add the Azerbaijan championship to his list of trophies. He is showing good performances wherever he goes, and we wish him good luck wherever he goes.
