What the coach of the Kyrgyzstan national team (U-23) said about the player who received a red card in the match against Saudi Arabia

Edmar Lacerda, the head coach of the Kyrgyzstan U-23 national football team, shared his thoughts on the situation with Arsen Sharshenbekov, who was sent off during the match against Saudi Arabia.

The first match of the U-23 Asian Cup took place on January 6, where the Saudi Arabian team won with a narrow score of 1:0.

In the 34th minute of the game, Sharshenbekov received a straight red card, leading to his dismissal.

“I want to express my support for Arsen. Despite the red card, he remains a part of our team. This is important for our future. We are not focused solely on today’s result, but are thinking about what lies ahead. It is important that we all support him. This is part of the game,” noted Edmar Lacerda at the post-match press conference.
