The Uzbekistan U-17 national team is participating in the FIFA U-17 World Cup taking place in Qatar. In the second group stage match, the teams of Uzbekistan and Ireland faced each other.
Unfortunately, in this match, the Uzbekistan team suffered a defeat. The match ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Ireland.
After the game, the head coach of the national team, Islombek Ismoilov, explained the reasons for the defeat. "We all saw that the opposing players are significantly taller than our players.
Because of this, it was very difficult to compete in aerial duels. The height difference between our players and the opposing team was quite significant.
This is almost an impossible situation, as a player with a height of 168 centimeters cannot beat an opponent who is 190 centimeters tall," said the coach. For your information, Ireland scored both goals with headers.
Additionally, the legendary coach Arsène Wenger observed the Uzbek players’ game from the stadium. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
