Maxim Shatskikh: We lost because of individual mistakes

Shatskikh: We lost because of individual mistakes in defense and inability to use the chances in attacks. We have a lot of losses, we could hardly recruit 11 players. We made conclusions on many players. We will take all this into account in our future plans.

We could not achieve our goal - to get out of the group. Many players of the main squad could not play, young guys sat on the bench. Mistakes at this level are not forgiven. There is a big difference in individual skill and speed.

The main goal set for us in the season was the championship, and we achieved it. We will try to strengthen the squad, but it is difficult to find foreigners of a good level. First of all, we invite them to improve the general level of training. And the one who is stronger at a certain moment plays in the match.

A large number of injuries is due to the tight schedule. Players of the teams that played in the Champions League are very tired, and this led to injuries. The national team players are in training and games non-stop. They are not robots, they also need rest. Because of the Asian Cup, we will be missing first the national team players and then the Olympic team players.

In the away match against FC Ahal, which was held on an artificial field, we did not release Alijonov, because playing on such a field is traumatic for Khozhiakbar. And he was released in the national team, and now he has problems with his knee. We can take care of our players, but I do not even know about others.
