Mirko Jelicic: “The plans made for a few days changed before the game”

After the victory at the “Mash’al” stadium in the 2nd round of the Super League, our team’s head coach Mirko Jelicic attended a press conference.

– It was difficult to play football, the teams had to fight more. This is not a pleasant situation for both teams. Because “Mash’al” also came to play good football. At that time, we can see what other characteristics the players have, how they can fight in such situations. Considering the three points, everything is good.

– Did the plans change after you saw the pitch?
– Yes, of course. The teams mainly prepare for the opponent. Later, the conditions are studied. The plans made for a few days changed before the game. This is not the football we wanted. The weather forced us to do this.

– The lowest number of fans in the last round was at Lokomotiv’s home game. Is this due to the weather or is there a low interest in football in Tashkent?
– This is the case for all teams in Tashkent. More fans come to games in the regions. I don’t know. Maybe the reason is the football we show and the results. If we show beautiful football, the fans will come. We need to work on this. But the problem you are talking about is not only with us, but also with Pakhtakor and Bunyodkor. We need to deal with other things.
