"You will see how we play on November 3." Does FC Lokomotiv have a serious plan against FC Navbahor? What did the Loko goalkeeper say?

FC Lokomotiv Tashkent team is in a difficult situation. With three rounds left in the championship, They are in danger of leaving the Super League. The club lost points to its opponents in many games and ended up in a difficult situation.

Now they have to score maximum points in the remaining three matches. On November 3, Loko will host FC Navbahor, which is fighting for the championship. The team's main goalkeeper Abdumavlon Abdujalilov spared time for Sports.uz before the upcoming important match.

The result in the Uzbekistan Cup final was suitable for the game

- I watched the Uzbekistan Cup final from beginning to end. In my opinion, FC Nasaf played stronger in the first half. In the second half, FC Navbahor took more initiative. Based on that, it was 1:1 in the main time. Overtime was mostly a one-goal game. If we take the general game, before the competition I thought about the victory of FC Nasaf. The reason is that they are playing really well this year. They are playing really beautiful football. I think the result in the final was appropriate for the game.

This is important for us and for FC Navbahor

- It is true, FC Navbahor will focus all its efforts on the championship. The next match is very important for us and for the team. I think it will be an interesting contest. If the final of the cup was held on October 30, FC Navbahor players should be fully recovered by November 3. We also play with all our strengths. Considering FC Navbahor is a strong opponent and our current situation, it will be a very intense match.

The plan was drawn up by the coaches

- You have rightly pointed out that this year FC Lokomotiv and FC Navbahor are standing in two different directions. The situation in the tournament table is also different. But it should be noted that FC Lokomotiv plays a different football, and FC Navbahor plays a different football. That is, their style is different. You will see what kind of match we will show on November 3. It is not worth talking about it before the game. We are preparing against FC Navbahor, watching the opponent's matches. Accordingly, a plan was drawn up by the trainers. Our job is to implement that plan.

We will try to keep the team in the Super League

- To date, the situation has been such that the coaches have been changed. First of all, this is work done with the aim of changing it in a positive direction. It is not correct to talk about retired coaches. In the beginning, Korostichenko worked, then Jeparov. Whoever came wanted to help the team. Jeparov also tried his best. Somewhere there was no luck, somewhere it didn't seem like it. This is football. No one was offended by anyone. The boys are playing as hard as they can. The situation is that, of course, the mood is in the first place. Once you get into that mood, it's hard to get out of it. We are trying to keep the team in the Super League. Coaches are not changed for nothing. If the team's game is not the same, the coach will be updated, new blood will be tried to change the mood. We hope that these changes will bear fruit. We did not play badly in the second half with FC Pakhtakor. We were not lucky enough to take advantage of opportunities. The defense also lacked error-free play.

The main player in FC Navbahor is Jamshid Iskanderov.

- Jamshid Iskanderov is the most important player in FC Navbahor. He is a player on another level. Unlike most players in the Super League. He has strong creativity. In short, Iskanderov is the most dangerous player in the FC Navbahor. His passes, kicks, and standard passes are amazing. There are some tall forwards in the attack and that should be taken into account.

FC Lokomotive will never give up.

- You can play against any team. Other teams have shown that it is possible to get points from Namangans and win them. Whichever team is stronger on that day will win. I think it is a real possibility that we will win the remaining matches and get out of the situation. If we didn't believe that, we would all have given up and stopped playing. But now everyone is trying. As you said, FC Lokomotiv will never give up. We will fight until the end. You can also play with other opponents. For example, Fc Sogdiyona is not in the same condition as before. We can easily compete with FC Metallurg. This is not the end. It is up to us to take the team out of a difficult situation.

Loco has no financial problems

- If we knew what the problem was in our team, we would have already changed it and achieved a positive result. But FC Lokomotiv has no financial problems. I don't think there's one reason why our team is here. We got to where we are now through a series of wrongdoings. As I said, if we had known exactly what went wrong, we would have fixed it and got a positive result and we wouldn't be where we are in the standings. It is inappropriate to blame someone. Everyone is doing their best. It will take time to find out the reasons for this. Anyway, it will be analyzed after the end of the championship. God willing, it will be appropriate to keep FC Lokomotiv in the Super League and analyze it in a good mood.
