Feliks Sanches: "Pakhtakor" is currently recording results that are not characteristic of it"

In the 8th round of the Elite Champions League, "Paxtakor" - "Al Sadd" head coach Feliks Sanches and player Abdusamad Bunasser participated in the pre-match press conference.

- We have arrived here to conduct the last round. We have already resolved the playoff issue in advance. Such matches provide a great opportunity for players to showcase themselves and gain more playing practice. We will need some time to adapt to the weather. "Paxtakor" is currently recording results that are not characteristic of them, but nevertheless, the team is defending well and has conceded very few goals. Therefore, our opponent will try to win tomorrow. We are ready for this and aim to achieve a good result tomorrow.

- "Paxtakor" needs a victory tomorrow. It will be a tough game. We have already qualified for the next stage.

- Mr. Head Coach, you just mentioned the organized defense line of "Paxtakor." Additionally, "Paxtakor" is the team with the fewest goals scored in the Elite Champions League, and your opponent has only managed to score twice in seven matches. Isn't the attacking line of the opponent weak? How much could this aspect benefit you?

- In my opinion, the Champions League is one of the toughest competitions in our region. In such games, many situations may not be created. It is difficult to defeat every opponent. We will try to showcase our game tomorrow. We know that "Paxtakor" recently got a new head coach. The new specialist is renewing the team. Playing against "Paxtakor" will be beneficial for us; in such competitions, you cannot choose your opponent. You have to resist based on the playing style of whichever opponent you face.

- You mentioned that "Paxtakor" is working with a new head coach. Additionally, the team has added 6-7 new players to its roster. How difficult has it been to analyze "Paxtakor," which has only participated in one official match so far? How challenging could it be to play against such a new team?

- Analyzing the opponent is part of the preparation. Our study of "Paxtakor" has been somewhat different. As you mentioned, the team has acquired several new players. A new lineup and a new head coach need some time. We are aware of the current state of the opponent. The most important thing is that we need to focus on our game and improve the quality of our performance. Such situations frequently occur in the Qatar championship as well. In many cases, we have had to play against such "new" teams.
