As previously reported, the Uzbekistan national team defeated Iran in the final of the international friendly tournament and secured a convincing victory in a dramatic penalty shootout. After this game, a number of Iranian sports channels and publications highly praised the national team's performance and expressed their opinions with particular affection.
One of the local Iranian channels noted in its commentary:
"Beating Uzbekistan is one thing, and even scoring against them is now becoming a dream."
These thoughts are not without reason. Because even in the last two clashes, the Iranian national team couldn't find their way to our goal. The 1:0 victory in the previous match was also achieved thanks to the reliable defense and responsible play of our national team. In this final, our team once again demonstrated discipline, strong character, and mental strength.
In the final match, from the very first minutes, our team showed its readiness for major competitions. The players' enthusiasm was evident in every struggle, every pass, and every move. Despite the high pressure from Iran, the team confidently defended their goal, controlling the situation.
The determination in the penalty shootout deserved special recognition - our players, without hesitation, achieved victory with composure and accurate shots.
Such comments from Iranian media are, in fact, a recognition of the national team's growth rate in recent years and tactical stability under Cannavaro.
If our team prepares for the next training camp in the same spirit, undoubtedly, many more joyful moments await our fans.
