How did Abbasbek Faizullaev's first coach rate him?

“Pakhtakor” graduate Abbasbek Fayzullaev is becoming an important figure not only in CSKA, where he plays, but also in the Uzbekistan national team.

The 21-year-old striker was one of the heroes of the match against the Kyrgyz Republic national team within the framework of the 2026 World Cup regional qualifying tournament.

Abbasbek scored the only goal that brought victory to our players, despite being between three defenders, but he accurately and easily delivered the ball to the author of the goal, Khojiakbar Alijanov, and recorded one assist for himself.

In an interview with Russian media, Abbosbek Fayzullaev's first coach Dmitry An assessed the chances of the Uzbek national team to qualify for the World Cup and his player's performance as follows.

- After another victory in the qualifying tournament, Uzbekistan's chances of qualifying for the World Cup have increased. Everyone is waiting for our players to qualify for the first historic World Cup.

There is a match with Iran on March 25, and we will support our team.

It will not be easy, of course, but our guys are in a fighting mood right now. They must not return from the trip empty-handed, at least one point would be a great result.

Football has become even more popular in Uzbekistan, stadiums are full. The support of the fans is very strong. We hope to qualify for the World Cup.

Now the Uzbek national team needs a bright and creative player like Abbosbek Fayzullaev. He is capable of both passing and scoring goals himself.

In modern football, all opponents have learned to defend. In the match with Kyrgyzstan, Abbas made a lot of passes, but only one of them was used. I was very happy that my student made a goal pass.

Now Fayzullaev is one of the key players of the national team and this pattern will continue in the future. Most importantly, Abbas should not receive a yellow card in the match with Iran in order to participate in the next match against the Arabs. Many of Uzbekistan's players have at least one warning before this match, - said Dmitry An.

It should be recalled that Abbasbek Fayzullaev has been a member of the Uzbekistan national team since June 2023. Our attacking player has played in 24 matches so far, scoring seven goals and providing two assists.

Fayzullaev has scored one goal each against Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, India, Thailand, North Korea, and two goals in the match against Qatar. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
