Hakim Fuzailov: "We didn't score 2 penalties"

The second part of the post–match press conference ” Bukhara“ - ” Andijan " (1:2) was attended by the head coach of "Bukhara" Hakim Fuzailov.

- It hurt that we lost an important argument. We took control of the game. But it happens in football. We couldn't score 2 penalties. But there is no one, the fight is still ahead. The playoffs begin. We are preparing for this.

- Is there a full-time penalty taker in the team?

- We had regular penalty takers. But they were not on the field, for example, Ruzim Akhmedov was in reserve. Therefore, the one who believed in himself had to kick. But it doesn't seem like this situation is happening in football.

- What do you think about the opponent? Why did the team lose today?

- As far as I can tell, it's luck. There were no mistakes from the tactical side, we knew that the opponent would play well on the second floor. But we conceded the first goal in this state. We didn't stay in the fight, but only lost the fight on the second floor. But we controlled the ball throughout the game, we had the advantage somewhere, we just couldn't score 2 penalties. I think we're out of luck.

- Has there been such a thing in your career?

- Ha ha. We even had games where we couldn't score 3 penalties. This is football, and something interesting happens in it.

- Does the fact that Turon lost give you any consolation?

- No, no. We are thinking about our game. However, "Turon" lost. Listen, now we're moving on to the playoffs. Then everything will be resolved. However, last year Neftchi dominated. Now the column is "Andijan". Everything is still ahead. Everyone is playing with each other. Then we will try to get the second direction.

- But the difference in points has become greater...

- Yes, the difference between them has become greater. There are only 8 games left, which are sure to be easy for the team in such a situation. "Andijan" is in good condition.

- What will be the preparation for the Playoffs?

- New games won't be easy. We are not playing with teams like ”Aral Samali“ or” Zomin“, and with such teams as” Andijan“,” Turon“,” Mashal“, ”Khorezm". Such games are not easy. No one is a ”gift". Any team can lose points. We need to prepare.

- Has the task not changed?

- The task is to bring it to the Super League. The main thing that needs to be solved at this stage. We haven't lost anything yet.

- When pressing against Andijan, the team looked lame...

- Now I will explain to you that you need to push, not press, when the opponent controls the ball. In this state, we scored. We didn't have time when we only allowed him to play on the second floor. The tall legionnaires of Andijan won all of the above battles. We also didn't have time to control the ball in the middle.

- Did you expect Andijan to show such a game?

- Yes, we all knew that. I personally watched the game with Mashal at the stadium, and we were also shown a recording of the game. The team is the same as in the championship, the transfer from above to Milic while he passes to the penalty area, and someone decides. This is the case with corner balls: the ball falls on Milik or Mamatkazin, they give a pass, the player who received the ball decides. I haven't seen any other combinations.

- Why did you replace Ruzim Akhmedov?

- Ruzimboy was tired in the second half when he received a yellow card. We could be left in short supply if he got rough again. So I replaced it. But we had plans to play Song together with Ruzim.

- Could you try both of these strikers in the starting lineup?

- I think we'll see soon. We are slowly preparing for such an organization of the game. We have 2 clean strikers, and then Usmanov and Sun, who play today, play on the same “plan”, Ruzim and Sun can move on different “plans”, which we are working on in training.
