Uzbekistan national team head coach Fabio Cannavaro shared his thoughts at a press conference ahead of the crucial match against Egypt. The Italian specialist emphasized that tomorrow's match will be a serious test for the team and an opportunity to prove themselves.
- Could you comment on the match against Egypt...
- Another important game. Egypt is a national team with top players. If I'm not mistaken, Egypt has lost only twice in their last 30 matches. We will face a very strong team. Tomorrow we must demonstrate our good qualities. It will be a good game. When you play against such opponents, motivation is high.
- Sardor Bahromov was called up to the national team for the first time. Do you want to see more young players in the national team? Was Bahromov's summons your decision?
- Of course, it's my decision. Who else could have made the decision (laughs). We have reviewed many players. If I had the opportunity, I would have attracted more players. We need to observe the players during the training process and talk to them face-to-face. I want to call up more players, but so far we have only 26 players. I want to review more players. I have many players and young people on my list. I hope they will have their moments in the national team.
- Are you following the participation of the Uzbekistan U17 national team in the World Cup?
- I'm watching all the games. I hope that our youth will achieve good results. Participation in such competitions is very important for football players. I'm following the competition, and the players themselves are aware of it.
- Why wasn't Fayzullayev called up to the national team?
- "The only reason Fayzullayev isn't here is that he hasn't fully recovered yet. I think he will return to the March training camp. I'm talking to Abbas. I'm in contact with every player. It's very important for me to be aware of the players' condition and mood. If we communicate more with the players and work with them, we will reduce the number of errors.
