“I want to note that all the goals we set before the tournament have been achieved. I am sincerely grateful to our players — they have enormous potential. If they believe in themselves, great opportunities will open up for them. It all depends on their desire,” Lacerda said at the press conference after the match.
“I have been in Kyrgyzstan for almost a year and regularly attend matches, following the development of the championship. There is a real football boom in the country. I want to appeal to the fans: give us a little time. Not everything happens instantly. There are many reasons that can create difficulties, but it is important to look at things realistically and think about the future,” he added.
