Do you know why the player who changed his team for the first time or how he felt guilty and transferred to FC Surkhan?

The squad of FC Surkhon has been updated. Along with the legionnaires, local footballers were also invited. Among them, there is a talented midfielder Bakhtiyor Kasimov. The player, who played for FC Andijan for several years, will now play for FC Surkhon. He changed his team for the first time in the Super League.

- You left FC Andijan for the first time and will continue your activity in another team. What is the main reason for your decision?

- The main thing is the goal. I wanted to play in the Super League again. In particular, I wanted to play football under the guidance of Spanish coaches. I was curious about that. I want to learn something from them.

-It's a new team for you. How was the adaptation to FC Surkhon? What are your first impressions?

- I know a lot of players on the team. We played together in the youth team, and I have friends who studied together at the academy. It was easy to adapt to this community. We have a wonderful relationship with all the players. The atmosphere in FC Surkhon is good.

- What kind of coach is Angel Lopez from Spain? Does it teach you new styles?

- He's very demanding. He requires everything from footballers. He is also a coach who wants aggressive football. The rest will be watched during the championship.

- How do you imagine yourself under this coach?

- Very good. He is mentally and physically supportive. He is a real professional. Prepares the team well. He also puts the order in place.

- Did you have any other offers? Why did you choose FC Surkhon?

- The Spanian specials invited me. I was also interested in their offers. I want to increase my game level again. True, there was interest from one or two other clubs. But the real offer came from FC Surkhon.

- Is there a clear task for FC Surkhon?

- Yes, the task has been set. Not to fall below eight. We will do our best to occupy one of the highest positions.

- The first match of the championship will be against the Olympics. What was the preparation for this competition? What can you say before the match?

- Our training was based on the plan. We took part in a number of friendly matches. Since many clubs in Uzbekistan hold training camps in Turkey, we played more with clubs in the pro league. We are only thinking about the victory in the match with FC Olympic and we are preparing accordingly. A team includes the Uzbek Olympic team members. I think it will be a very good game.

- Was it difficult to leave FC Andijan? The fans wanted you to stay ...

- It was very difficult to get out of there. Many thanks to the club leader Jurat. Before leaving, we talked to him. The Super League is a different level. He said that by playing there, you will grow. We wished each other good luck. However, it was difficult to leave FC Andijan. There is no way, football is like that. You are here today, you are here tomorrow.

- FC Andijan starts all over again in the pro league. Did you feel guilty when you left the Super League last year?

- Of course, we feel guilty, and on top of that, we are from Andijan. We were devastated when the team fell. We have offended the fans and apologize for that. We have seen these days as well. Andijan fans have always proved that they are the best in Uzbekistan. I am sure that FC Andijan will return to the Super League to the delight of the fans. True, we too are deeply saddened, but life goes on. There are no objections to the leadership. They supported each other. The main culprit was the players. I think many of our players were young and lacked experience and luck. We could not score a penalty against Nasaf. We lost FC AGMK where we were winning.
