Timur Kapadze: "We know what Norchaev is capable of"

Today, our Olympic national team of Uzbekistan played a friendly match against the Olympic national team of Kyrgyzstan at the "Istiqlal" stadium in Fergana. Our national team won the competition 1:0. After the match, head coach of Uzbekistan Timur Kapadze shared his thoughts.

- This game was needed. I looked at both contents. We came to this meeting in "nagruzka". We had another task. It was a good game, we could have scored more goals, we had many chances, especially in the first half. We saw young people, it's true, somewhere a shortcoming was noticed. We will work on it. I think that we will draw the necessary conclusions from the meeting and analyze it. Kyrgyzstan defended well. It takes skill to break through such dense defenses. Maybe it was lacking somewhere today. But overall, the guys did well.

- Husayn Norchaev seemed unable to join the team...

- As you know, Husayn hasn't played in his team for a long time. I think it has something to do with the tone of the game. We know Norchaev's potential and what he is capable of. This player is always in tonus when playing. Can act better in situations. The weather is very humid today. Despite this, the players made a lot of effort.

- You make a lot of rotations in the composition. Do you think the squad is ready for the decisive games?

- We are checking through friendly meetings. Whoever is in good shape by that day, we know the chance levels. The most worthy, the strongest will play. Friendly meetings are needed to check them. We continue the work.
