Maksym Shatskikh: We tried to analyze the opponent as much as possible

Before the match of the 5th round of the Elite Champions League against Esteghlal, head coach Maksym Shatskikh and defender Khozhiakbar Alizhonov took part in the press conference. 

Maksym Shatskikh: We didn`t have much time to study the opponent and prepare, but we tried to analyze the opponent as much as possible. The match is very important for both teams, every point is of great value. We will strive to show a good game and achieve a positive result. I would note that in the opponent's lineup all the danger in attack comes from Masharipov. I hope that tomorrow will not be his day and we will be able to stop him. In the match we will use our plan, we will try to achieve the result we need.

Khozhiakbar Alizhonov: Tomorrow's match is very important for both teams and the victory too. We will try to do everything and return home with a victory, making our fans happy.
