Timur Kassymov: “We Gained Valuable Experience from the Two Matches Against Georgia”

– What was the main takeaway for the team from the two friendly matches against Georgia?

The main takeaway was gaining experience of international matches, the ability to play in different systems and styles, and to adapt to tactical changes.

– What conclusions did you draw after the first game and how did you apply them in the second match?

In the first game, we tested ourselves by playing aggressive football. We had a lot of chances, and the score could have been the same but in our favour. We need to improve our finishing. In the second match, it was important to see what both we and the opponent were capable of by giving them possession and working on counter-attacks. I believe we gained a lot of information and experience from these two games.

– How important are such friendly matches for the development of young players?

Absolutely, these training camps and matches are very important for our young players. In this camp alone, we managed to involve and assess 35 players.
