Uzbekistan U-17 head coach speaks ahead of match against China

Uzbekistan U-17 head coach Islam Ismailov expressed his thoughts ahead of the match against China.

"Since we had little time, we quickly analyzed yesterday's match and started preparing for the match against China today. Chinese youth football has its place in Asia, so it will definitely not be an easy match. Based on the mistakes made in the match with Thailand, we gave the guys the necessary instructions and began to implement tactical developments.

We played against the hosts in the international tournament held in China in August 2024. Therefore, we have information on how to play against this team. In addition, we analyzed each of the opponent's matches in the Asian Cup qualifying round and the friendly matches they played and came to the necessary conclusions for ourselves. God willing, we will try to win the second match in our group and make Uzbek football fans happy," said Islam Ismailov.

The match will kick off on April 6 at 20:00 Tashkent time at the Okaz Stadium in Taif. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
