What did Ulug‘bek Baqoyev say about his team's defeat yesterday?
"Bukhara" - "Bunyodkor" (0:2) After the match, Bukhara's coach Ulugbek Baqoyev expressed the following thoughts at the press conference.
- The first half was an even game. I can say we played better until the break. We could have scored two goals. We fell short in terms of realization. In the second half, the players of "Bunyodkor" continued to wait and eventually scored. We conceded the first goal from a deflection, and the second one after a corner kick. I have no complaints about my team. We played well, but we suffered because we couldn't capitalize on our chances. I congratulate "Bunyodkor" on their victory.
- Did "Bukhara" fail to capitalize on their chances, or did "Bunyodkor" defend well? Which factor do you think had more influence on the outcome of the game?
- Both teams were equal on the field. Both teams displayed organized play, but this is football. The situation with the deflection affected us. It was just an unfortunate situation. It seems "Bunyodkor" wanted the victory more, and luck smiled upon them.
- Last season, experienced but older players like Artyom Filiposyan, Vitaliy Denisov, and Jasur Hasanov played for "Bukhara." This season, younger players like Ravshan Khayrullayev and Javohir Roziyev are taking places in the starting lineup. Did you decide to rejuvenate the team before the start of the current season?
- I do not consider the age of the players. Whoever meets my requirements will play. Age and passport do not matter. I want to thank the guys who have been with us; they have been with us. The young players are proving that they deserve to gain playing experience.
