After the match between "Nasaf" and "Surxon" (1:0) in the 5th round of the Super League, the guest team's head coach Fevzi Davletov participated in a press conference.
"We made a lot of mistakes in the first half. 'Nasaf' is a team that does not forgive mistakes. The opponent had many chances, but Potapov saved the team. In the goal we conceded, the defenders should have come to help Potapov. After the break, we tried to make changes. We attempted to go on the attack, but after the red card, we needed to play more aggressively. We had two or three chances, but we couldn't capitalize on them. We need to work better in this area. 'Nasaf' defended very well," Fevzi Davletov commented on today's match.
- What goals did 'Surxon' set for itself in today's game?
- We aim to win every match. Today's game is no exception.
- Last season, 'Surxon' had a much better attacking line. This season, however, the team seems to be facing problems in attack...
- Yes, we are lacking aggression.
- In the last round, Potapov returned to the field and 'Surxon' won. Today, he saved the team multiple times. Why was he on the bench in the first three rounds?
- Artyom missed January and February due to injury, and that's why he couldn't prepare fully for the season. In the games before that, you saw the goals we conceded. We made mistakes from nowhere and conceded goals. Today, Artyom saved the team.
- Your team displayed beautiful football in the first half, but after the break, there were instances of time-wasting and similar actions that do not suit the team. Were these situations a result of the head coach's instructions?
- No, definitely not. Such situations occur due to emotions.
- How do you evaluate today's refereeing?
- There is a commission that evaluates the referees' decisions. I can only speak about my team's performance.
- In the situation where Hamidjonov received a yellow card, you seemed to signal the player to calm down. The player reacted sharply towards you. After that, he was substituted. How did you perceive Hamidjonov's reaction?
- You have seen his actions from last season as well. The referee is showing a card; in such a situation, he should step aside. What is the need for additional words? He got carried away with emotions. We substituted him to prevent him from receiving a second yellow card. He received a red card last season, if you remember.
