Denis Korostichenko, the head coach of “Lokomotiv” expressed his opinion after the victory at the “Kyzylkum” field in the 2nd round of the Cup of Uzbekistan.
– First of all, I congratulate everyone on the victory. The victory was fair. In the first half, we didn’t look bad in the game, but in the second half we slowed down a bit. The important thing is that we finished the work with victory. It was difficult for our opponents to play today. Because they were almost a complete game deficit. That’s why I think it was hard for them today. I wish “Kyzylkum” good luck in the next matches.
– Both teams received red cards today. What can you say about it?
– I didn’t see the first red card in the game. I don’t know what happened there. They said he played rough. Our suspension was due to two offensive violations. Let’s look at the episodes.
– The team won 6 points and managed to enter the playoffs. What will be the preparation for the last game in the group? Will there be a change of plans?
– First of all, we are thinking about the match against “Mash’al” which will be held in 4 days. And then the trip to Samarkand is waiting for us, we will play against “Unired”. Therefore, our attention is now focused on the championship games. After that, there will be a match against “Dynamo”. That’s when we think about this meeting.
– “Lokomotiv” coach Mirco Jelicic celebrated his birthday today. What can you say about this coach?
– Everyone knows that he is a high-level specialist. He made Lokomotiv champion three times. At that time, “Lokomotiv” won everyone tactically. Therefore, I can say that Mirco’s contribution to those victories was great. And also in the games of this season, he is taking on great responsibility. He deserves such a congratulations.
