Vitaliy Levchenko: "Nasaf" is a very strong opponent, we were able to play evenly with the hosts"

After the match between "Nasaf" and "Neftchi" (0:0) in the 3rd round of the Super League, the guest head coach Vitaliy Levchenko participated in a press conference.

- First of all, I congratulate the people of Uzbekistan on the occasion of Ramadan holiday. Today we came to the field only for victory. We lacked luck in some areas. We are working to ensure the team shows stable performance. We have shortcomings in finishing situations. Perhaps such situations are related to game rhythm. We are working hard in training, and easy games are not waiting for us ahead.

- The current squad of "Neftchi" has strong players. What is the reason for the three consecutive draws?
- As I mentioned, we may be lacking in game rhythm. We are eliminating shortcomings from game to game. "Nasaf" is a very strong opponent, we managed to play evenly with the hosts. If we had taken advantage of the situations, we could have won as well.

- Many people think that "Neftchi" is repeating last season's "Navbahor"...
- Teams may resemble each other. We have a clear goal and task ahead of us. We are working seriously in this regard. As the players understand each other better, our game will continue to improve.

- What is the reason for Vladimir Yovovich remaining on the bench?
- The coaching staff knows the player's condition better. We decided to give him a little rest, but according to our plan, he was supposed to join the game in the second half and organize unexpected attacks for the opponent. As I mentioned, we are getting stronger from game to game.
