How did the head coach of Andijan comment on the painful defeat against Bunyodkor?

Andijan club in the match against Bunyodkor in Tashkent, despite opening the score first, suffered a painful defeat with a score of 2:1. After the competition, the coach of Andijan shared his thoughts.

- Aleksander Andreevich, what is your opinion about the meeting?

- It is understandable, despite our efforts, we lost. But we didn't play like a loser. On the contrary, we tried well. The plans we thought in the first minutes of the meeting began to be realized. We scored as a result of our activity in the center and our quick attack. There were more chances, but we couldn't take advantage of them. Unfortunately, despite opening the score, we lost in the end. We conceded inexplicable goals. But despite all our efforts, luck was not on our side this time, on the contrary, it laughed at the opponent. I congratulate Bunyodkor on today's victory.

- In the second 45 minutes, Andijan is a little slow in creating dangerous situations and attacking. What do you think is the reason for this?

- We had a number of problems. In the first half, our team acted very aggressively. Somewhere we lacked experience, we made mistakes in keeping the ball. There were also signs of fatigue in the second half. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the guys, there was no positive change. But I can't say that our players are completely tired. They fought in every way. But the opponent also resisted us enough. Bunyodkor is also well prepared for the game, has studied our strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the game tactics of our opponent, we also organized a game. The boys fought to avoid defeat. I have no strong objections to them.

- In the second round, Hebei's efficiency decreased. What is it about?

- Of course, at the beginning of the second period, it is difficult to score goals compared to the first. The guys are also trying to pass him the ball as much as possible and create chances. We ended the first round in the 6th place, which many did not expect. Of course, Rubin also has a big contribution to this. Hebei can do his job as long as he can. However, in some situations, the ball does not reach him comfortably. He wants to score goals himself. But because there are not enough good passes, he has fewer opportunities. I mean, we have some shortcomings. There are some problems in our wing midfield. If attacks from the wings are well organized and convenient passes are made, our striker will definitely score. It is difficult to score a goal by yourself. I hope Hebay starts scoring again soon.

- Before conceding the first goal, Andijan had to throw the ball into the game. But it was done differently. Wasn't it the referees' fault?

- I was also seeing the same situation. The ball went out of the opponent's player. It would be ridiculous to say that the referee was responsible for that goal. The players on the left wing of Bunyodkor performed well. Of course, it was a painful goal. We conceded a goal because we did not defend well.
