Kapadze revealed the reasons for Navbahor's defeat and his attitude towards the fans.
In the fourth round of the Uzbekistan Super League, in a serious match held in the city of Kokand, the Navbahor team lost to the Kokand-1912 club with a score of two to one. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
At the press conference held after the match, the guests' head coach Timur Kapadze gave detailed information to the media representatives about the reasons for not being able to win and the course of the game. The coach first congratulated the winning hosts and emphasized that the game was even more difficult than expected.
He mentioned that the team lost at the end of the game due to the opponent's lucky goal, but the players exerted all their strength during the match. The head coach of Navbahor apologized to the fans for the loss and expressed gratitude for their support.
During the match, a penalty situation somewhat disrupted the team's play. Although attempts were made to score in the second half as well, the result remained the same.
Kapadze objectively stated that O'tkir Yusupov, who was injured as a result of a collision at the end of the game, is in good condition and that the goalkeeper is also feeling normal. Regarding the question about registering for the World Cup, the coach said that fate will decide, many games are still left, and the situation can change.
He opposed the opinions that the reserve players could not strengthen the game, emphasizing that they actually played well. Although several players were missing from the lineup, the rest were able to fully demonstrate their capabilities.
The referees' decisions and the VAR system were also among the episodes that affected the outcome of the game. The coach admitted that the cancellation of Zabihillo Orinov's goal and the subsequent awarding of a penalty had a negative impact on the team's morale.
Additionally, the condition of the field also caused difficulties in the game process. The height of the grass and the slow movement of the ball added extra burden for the guests.
When asked about preparations for future games, including the match against the Mash'al team, Kapadze said that he analyzes each game and is confident that the process will gradually improve. He stated that he is working closely with those inside the team and hopes for changes in results by correcting small details.
According to the coach, the current situation is temporary, and the team will soon fully shape its game and achieve strong successes. This information was taken from a source published by the Navbahor press service.
