After the intense and high-speed game against Iran, Uzbekistan national team defender Farrukh Sayfiyev shared his impressions with journalists. According to him, the team was able to please the fans not only in terms of the result, but also in terms of the quality of the game.
According to Farrukh, the national team felt free on the field and played confidently against the opponent:
"We had a good match, I think we played a game that the fans liked. "I congratulate everyone on the victory," the defender said.
"Iran wouldn't have given us a chance 10 years ago"
Journalists recalled the significant difference between the clashes with Iran in previous years and the current situation. Farrukh Saifiyev pointed to the team's many years of work and growth as the main factor in this regard:
"At that time, Iran put a lot of pressure on us, we didn't even have time to improve in the game. Now the situation has completely changed - we play without difficulty, we have an advantage against a strong opponent. This is not without reason, we have worked hard for years. Our participation in the World Cup is also the result of these efforts. Iran has also begun to see us as serious rivals," he said.
Cannavaro is paying special attention to the defenders
According to Farrukh, the team's head coach, Fabio Cannavaro, is directly communicating with each player and providing individual explanations. He especially praised the work with the defenders:
"In training, he teaches us a lot - moving forward with the ball, building an attack, standing straight in position. Cannavaro has extensive experience as a defender. There is still time before the World Cup, we will have time to learn a lot," Sayfiyev said.
According to the defender, the team intends to increase demand for themselves in every game without stopping development. The fans are seeing the real results of these changes on the field.
