We have two great goalkeepers. Astana coach

The head coach of "Astana" Srdjan Blagojevich summed up the winning match of the 16th round of the Premier League against "Maktaaral". He noted that the team showed patience on the field, bbabo.net reports.

- First of all, I congratulate my players on a well-deserved victory. In the first half, it was not possible to find the key to the opponent's low defense, but that's what we expected. We knew that everything would be decided by patience. And so it happened, I want to praise the players. Especially in the first goal, they showed how to play with patience, then everything went differently and it became easier for us. I wish "Maktaaral" all the best.

- Hovhannisyan was injured, and there are so many problems with the defense ...

- Yes, this is another question that we have. Both Aimbetov and Kusyapov, as well as Oganesyan, had a big workload during the national team matches. He played every game, he has a lot of jerks, intense movements. Unfortunately, there was an injury. I was hoping he could handle one more game and planned to give him a few days off. Tomorrow we'll send him in for an MRI and see how much damage he has.

- Astana has a series of injuries lately. What is it connected with?

- There is a certain problem that we have already analyzed. It so happened that Kusyapov and Aimbetov were injured in the previous game. I don’t know how they worked in the national team, but I don’t want to blame anyone for the damage. Our playing line-up is not very long, so it was not possible to give additional rest. Tomasov had a back problem last week but recovered quickly. Eugenio had inflammation of the adductor muscles, so they did not risk it in the match against Aktobe. The reasons may be different, but we will try to solve them.

- Milosevic gets a lot of criticism from the fans...

- I really believe in him, as I believe in Zarutsky. We have two great goalkeepers. I have great respect for all the fans, journalists, but, unfortunately, I do not read the comments. I try to make decisions in the interests of the team. It happens that the goalkeeper misses two shots out of two, even the best in the world.

- Sultan Sagnaev scored the first goal for Astana. How would you rate his progress?

- Today's goal is a reward for all his work. I have known Sultan for a long time, when he played with me at Caspian in 2020. He is a quality player, he has a lot of intense movement, he works hard in training. Today he was awarded a goal.

Recall that the game, held at the Astana Arena, ended with the victory of the capital with a score of 4:0. Thanks to this result, "Astana" came out on top with 27 points, while "Maktaaral" remained in last position with ten points.
