The Uzbek U-18 team lost the match against Belarus by a large margin!

Yesterday, an international friendly match between the U-18 national football teams of Uzbekistan and Belarus took place in Almalyk. This match ended with an unpleasant result for the local fans - the Belarusians won 6:0.

From the very first minutes of the match, the Belarusian players showed that they had complete superiority on the field. It was noticeable that the U-18 team of Uzbekistan, led by Askar Khalmuratov, was significantly behind the opponent in terms of physical preparation, tactical discipline and organization of attacks.

In the first half, the Belarusian youth team launched several dangerous attacks on the Uzbek team's goal, increasing the number of goals with accurate shots. The Uzbek youth team, on the other hand, could hardly create a clear chance in front of the opponent's goal. Since the midfield line could not move well, the attackers were also not provided with the ball.

The scene on the field did not change in the second half. The Belarusian national team players increased their pace and increased their score. The Uzbek players were physically exhausted and made many mistakes in defense. Although goalkeeper Bogdan Odinaev saved his team from goals several times in difficult situations, his individual actions were not enough to prevent a major defeat.

The players who played in the starting lineup of our team were: Bogdan Odinaev (captain), Muhammadali Kadirjonov, Azizbek Anvarov, Diyor Ermanov, Kuvonchbek Abraev, Shakhobiddin Pulatov, Saiddin Mavlonov, Jasurbek Jumaboev, Orzibek Turgunov, Muhammadali Dilshodbekov, Alisher Shukurov.

In the second half of the game, coach Askar Khalmuratov brought on reserve players to improve the situation. Zainiddin Yusufkhanov, Saddam Akhmadov, Raul Dzeparov, Muslimbek Habibullaev, Davron Tulaganov, Sirozhiddin Jumadilloev, Ogabek Eshmamatov, Samandar Iskandarov, Feruzbek Olimov, Shukhrat Abdukhalilov, Islam Isroilov and Farkhodjon Tursunaliev also came on the field from the reserves. However, their presence on the field did not change the situation.

This match will definitely be an important lesson for the coaches of our team. The match with the Belarusian youth team clearly showed that there are many problems in the youth stage of Uzbek football. It is true that it is necessary to draw the right conclusions from this defeat and seriously prepare for the upcoming matches.

The match against Belarus gave the Uzbek youth team the opportunity to once again assess their capabilities and learn the necessary lessons for future growth. At the same time, the coaching staff should analyze this match and work on the shortcomings. At the same time, young players also need to work harder on themselves and prepare in accordance with the requirements of international matches.

This result is a signal for the Uzbek football community, showing the need for specific and serious work to increase the competitiveness of young people in international matches. It would be advisable not to repeat these mistakes in subsequent matches and to form an even stronger squad.

We hope that the Uzbek U-18 team will draw the necessary conclusions from such a serious defeat and gain the necessary experience and strength to achieve worthy results in international matches. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
