The game of the third round of the group stage of the Asian Cup took place on January 12 and ended with a narrow victory for Jordan, 1-0.
“I can confidently say that all the goals we set for the tournament have been achieved. I am very grateful to our players — they have tremendous potential. If they believe in themselves, they have every chance of success in the future. It all depends on them,” Lacerda noted.
“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. My message to the fans: give the team a little time. One should not expect instant results. The reasons for the difficulties are varied, but it is important to look at things realistically and think about tomorrow,” he added at the press conference after the match.
