Husayn Norchayev: "We had no plans to sacrifice the cup"

After the match between "Pakhtakor" and "Nasaf" (6:3) in the 3rd round of the Uzbekistan Cup Group B, guest striker Husayn Norchayev shared his thoughts.

- What was the reason for the defeat?
- It was a difficult game. I don’t know what the main reason for the defeat was. Such situations happen in football. Now we will forget this and prepare for the next game.

- Did the psychological effect of the missed victory against "Bunyodkor" have any impact on today’s game?
- No, because we prepare separately for each game. We need to focus on the Super League.

- Last year, "Nasaf" focused all its attention on the Super League by sacrificing the cup and won the championship. Before the game against "Pakhtakor," the team was only satisfied with victory. Nevertheless, a mixed lineup took the field initially. Can this be explained by the fact that the opponents did not focus their attention on this tournament?

- No, that’s not the case. All the players in the squad are in good condition. In the match against "Pakhtakor," players who had not played in previous games were given the opportunity. I believe our physical and mental states are the same. Therefore, everyone should be given a chance. There are many games ahead. Fans should continue to support us, and we will try to make them happy.
