After the match between "Mash’al" and "Neftchi" (1:4) in the 5th round of the Super League, the guest head coach Vitaliy Levchenko participated in a press conference.
About the game
- We started the game well and placed great emphasis on ball control. We scored two goals, but we relaxed a bit at the end of the half and conceded a goal. I told the guys in the dressing room to make effective use of the opponent's mistakes. We entered the second half with great confidence and played well enough to deserve the victory. I congratulate our team representatives and our fans on the victory.
- Today we expected rotation from "Neftchi". But it didn't happen significantly...
- Many players in our team are new, so we need to play together more to improve mutual understanding. Every player must be ready for the game. We do not differentiate between the main squad or substitutes. We need results, and whoever deserves it will be put on the field. We observe in training, and conclusions are drawn from that.
- On April 15, you will play against "Navbahor". What will the lineup be for that game?
- We still have time until that date. We will see how ready each player is in training. The final decision will be made at the very end.
- What is the condition of Yovovich?
- He got injured in the last match. We didn't want to take risks and gave him a rest. We always need him. His injury is not pleasant for us. We will see if he fully recovers before the next game; if so, we will put him on the field.
