Timur Kapadze said: "there is no easy opponent in this tournament!"

In the match of the 1st round of the U - 23 Asian Cup between the national teams of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, our representatives won with a score of 1:0. At a press conference organized after the competition, Temur Kapadze took part and expressed the following thoughts:

"First of all, Hello! We knew that the first game would be difficult. The important thing is that we won. We had a lot of chances in both sections. My students fought until the last seconds. The opponent defended well in both halves, besides the goalkeeper played very well. For the same reason, we had problems on the front line. I think the players also felt some excitement. 

As I said, we have to get used to the pressure of the first argument. My students struggled to put an end point to the attacks. Zhasur Zhaloliddinov also plays little in his team. Therefore, today there was a small problem with him. I don't think it's a serious injury. 

The opponent played a counterattack throughout the game, but we didn't let him do it. We are reviewing the game and trying to correct our mistakes.

During the training process, we have done a lot of work on standard situations. Continuing to do this, we will come up with the best tactics in the next matches.

The players came from different teams, and they need time to understand each other well. I think this situation will improve from game to game.

We studied the rest of the opponents in the group. There are no easy opponents in the tournament! 

I am glad that my students were called up to the national team under the leadership of Catania. It would be useful for all of us. There are guys who can replace several players, even if we let them go to the main team.

"Since it was our first game, we had to work a little hard. Failure to make effective use of circumstances can be costly. To my surprise, this did not happen. We will try to become stronger in the next competition."
