I think that our players can do it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefeat  in Tehran could have a positive impact on the process of the team  growing. Young players have a lack of experience and they gain more with  every game. They grow up before our eyes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only pity is that we are losing points at the same time and yet, over time, experience gained will bear fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khaydarov  will be without Temurkhuja Abdukholiqov due to suspension while  19-year-old keeper Nikita Rybkin has featured in place of Temur Juraev  in recent domestic league games with the latter having suffered through  some recent indifferent form although the experienced stopper is also  carrying a knock.<\/p>\n<p>However, forward Sanat Shikhov will play through the pain of an arm injury to line up against Esteghlal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcept Abdukholiqov, all other field players are preparing for the match,\u201d added Khaydarov.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Sanat Shikhov is ready to enter the field with a bandage on his arm, if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Esteghlal  boss Parviz Mazloomi, meanwhile, is targeting a double over Pakhtakor  to boost their pursuit of a place in the last 16. They currently have  four points, level with Al Nassr but three behind group leaders Al Sadd.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In Tehran, we played a beautiful game and won. I hope that tomorrow we will be able to repeat the result,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPakhtakor are a very strong team and yet, we intend to play to win, which could guarantee us access to the next round. <\/p>\n<p>We have a small problem with the make-up of our team but I believe that we are generally in good shape.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFC &#8211; TASHKENT, Pakhtakor boss Ravshan Khaydarov believes the defeat to Esteghlal in Tehran two&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22614,"featured_media":11056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c17-asian-competitions"],"views":4164,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
