Marko Nikolich highly appreciated Abbosbek Fayzullayev's game against "Dinamo"

The attacking player of the Uzbekistan national team, Abbosbek Fayzullayev, has made a successful start with the CSKA club in 2025. In the 22nd round of the Russian Premier League, the "army men" defeated Dinamo from Makhachkala 2:0 at home.

Fayzullayev returned from the national team and played in the starting lineup

Despite actively participating in the matches against the national teams of Kyrgyzstan and Iran during FIFA days, Abbosbek returned to the CSKA squad and took a place in the starting lineup for the Premier League match. This indicates that he is becoming an important player for the team.

In their first match of the new year, CSKA returned from the field of Russia's strongest club in recent years, Zenit, with a draw. They also achieved consecutive victories in the next three Premier League matches.

Marko Nikolich highly praised Fayzullayev's game

After the match, CSKA coach Marko Nikolich emphasized that he was pleased with the players' performance and shared his thoughts on Fayzullayev:

"Kudos to the players, we achieved an important victory while maintaining the integrity of our goal. We celebrated our victory in a worthy manner, created a hundred situations, and the game was very entertaining. First of all, I am referring to the 100 percent chances of Tamerlan Musayev and Abbosbek Fayzullayev when they faced the goalkeeper one-on-one."

Nikolich mentioned that special preparations were made before the game to utilize set pieces and that the individual actions of the players were discussed.

Regarding Fayzullayev, he added:

"Abbosbek continues to grow. I see that he has a very high potential. He needs to work on effectively finishing attacks. If he achieves this, he will reach a level where he scores ten goals and provides ten assists, and no one will be able to catch him."

"He has fully adapted to the new game scheme. It should also be noted that he played while fasting. We have six Muslim players in our team. We need to take into account the condition of each player."

CSKA is striving for the championship

CSKA head coach spoke about the main goal of the team:

"I have said that I want to fight for the championship, but we approach this matter a bit modestly. Right now, this process is going positively, but every upcoming game is like a final for us."

Fayzullayev's statistics at CSKA

21-year-old Abbosbek Fayzullayev, who joined CSKA in the summer of 2023, has played in 28 matches across all competitions for the club this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.

The improvement in the player's game and Nikolich considering him one of the key figures raises hopes for his bright future career.
