Roziqul Berdiyev: ""Nasaf" has reached a point where even a draw is disappointing"
The match between "Nasaf" and "Bunyodkor" (2:2) in the 9th round of the Super League took place, and the home team's head coach Ro‘ziqul Berdiyev participated in the press conference.About the game
- I think we deserved to win today. We could have changed the score from 1:0 to 2:0, and from 2:1 to 3:1. We had enough chances.
- Was it possible to hold the defense firmly when there was little time left in the game?
- The opponent scored from a set piece. We need to be attentive to every situation. The guys played well, but just one moment of negligence in that situation led to a goal.
- The second halves do not look like "Nasaf". The team is losing in terms of results. What do you say about this?
- The physical and mental preparation for today's game was better. As I said earlier, if we had changed the score from 1:0 to 2:0, it would have been a different result. We were attentive in defense, but a set piece led to a goal.
- "Nasaf" recorded its second consecutive draw. The team played well in the last game as well. Could it be that the players are lacking clarity in the second halves?
- After the match with "Xorazm", I said we deserved to lose points; our game was not good. Today we had more chances in attack. I have answered this question before. The question should be thought through more deeply before asking.
- Akmal Mozgovoy, Xusayn Norchayev, and Stefan Cholovich have been playing in the starting lineup. Today they joined the game after the 60th minute. Is this related to the tactics chosen for this game?
- Cholovich did not participate in the last game either; he has an injury. Mozgovoy had a slight fever yesterday. That’s why we had to keep him on the bench. Norchayev was also recovering from a minor injury. That’s why we brought him on from the bench.
- Does the consecutive loss of points put pressure on the team?
- We do not feel any pressure. We need to prepare well for the upcoming games. A large part of the season is still ahead. There will be such phases, and we need to get through them well. It is difficult for any team to consistently achieve good results. Today we needed to make better use of our chances; we couldn't score even when we went one-on-one. The guys really wanted to win.
- When "Nasaf" achieved the championship, there were games played for results as well. If you had a choice between playing beautifully or achieving results, which one would you choose?
- Of course, the result is important. If we had played beautifully last season but not achieved results, we would not have won the championship in the end. In football, the result is the priority. I cannot say that "Inter" or PSG played better than "Barselona" and "Arsenal" in the semifinals, but both are now in the final. The result is more important; of course, we strive to play quality football without forgetting the result. Now "Nasaf" has reached a level where even a draw is disappointing. We need to maintain this level.
