Rade Petrovic: "over the past two years, Bašković has done useful work for Uzbek football in FC Bunyodkor and FC Sogdiana"

After the match of the 13th round of the Super League FCSogdiana - FC Dinamo (4:2), coach Rade Petrovic expressed his opinion.

"We expected it to be a tough game. We studied almost every meeting of the opponent. They turned out to be a team that plays soccer. Samarkand showed that they deserve more points in the first round. We scored 2 goals early in the match, but they showed quality and equalized.

Those of us who joined the game from the reserves increased our chances. Thanks to the boys and the fans for today's victory.

We can only comment on our next opponent. Ahead is the match against FC Neftchi. There are injuries. In this game Ivan Bašković will be back on the coaching staff. This gives us additional strength.

We knew them well. They gave us momentum in our game. Jovovic played 4-5 matches for his national team. Petrovic was the best player of the Montenegrin championship. When they signed him, there were injuries. That's why he missed some competitions in the first rounds. I think we have the strongest legionnaires now.

There may be one or two local players signed who can compete to get into the main squad. We have 90 percent of our players had a good season. All our attention is focused on the game in the cup match against FC Neftchi. We hope that the stadium will be full in the match with "Neftyanik".

As I said above, FC Dinamo is a good team. We watched almost all their game. They have the quality of play. We knew that today it would be a tough contest.

We have a lot of young players. Ivan Bashkovich has done useful work for Uzbek soccer for the last two years in FC Bunyodkor and FC Sogdiana. A lot of young players got game practice in the Super League. I hope that in the remaining matches we will also have young players in the lineup.
