However, with the support of his father and the renowned football figure Ulugbek Asanbayev, he made a significant move to Belarus, joining Energetik-BGU. Asanbayev has played a crucial role in assisting numerous Uzbek players in making successful transitions to this club, demonstrating his commitment to nurturing talent and expanding opportunities for athletes in the region», as noted by Saidullayev in an interview with Belarusian sports media Sport5.by.
