The victory of the Uzbekistan national team over Venezuela caused sharp criticism from Latin American experts and social media users.
In the intense match held in Tashkent, our representatives managed to secure a win in the penalty shootout (5:4). Following this defeat, South American mass media and sports blogs are literally “flattening” their national team.
“Miss Universe” and baseball — that’s their level!
In particular, the “San Marino Fútbol” page on social media approached the situation with a mix of humor and sarcasm, calling the defeat of the Venezuela national team a “disgrace.”
“The South American giant has fallen! Venezuela, in the last friendly match, gave way to the powerful Uzbekistan in a penalty shootout. The team that put on a goal-scoring show in the previous game today showed a shameful performance again. We advise them to leave football and focus on baseball or ‘Miss Universe’ beauty contests. Only in these areas are they capable of anything,” the publication writes.
Colombian media are also amazed
Not only Venezuela, but neighboring Colombian media are also giving high praise to the meaningful play of the Uzbekistan national team. According to experts, Fabio Cannavaro’s students are demonstrating tactically mature and fast-paced football. This became an unexpected “gift” for Latin Americans.
Impressions of Tim Spears
It should be recalled that the famous American journalist Tim Spears was also impressed by the atmosphere in Tashkent. After the match against Gabon, he specifically noted how loud and devoted Uzbek fans are. The victory over Venezuela is considered another important step for the national team on the path to the World Cup.
“Awesome, many thanks!
Yesterday evening I was at the match against Gabon — it was an unbelievable experience. I met with the fan club; the supporters are very loud!
Once again, thank you, I am a devoted fan of Zamin, and your opinions will be very useful for my article.
Best regards, Tim”
Dear fans, do you think defeating such a strong opponent as Venezuela was a coincidence, or has Uzbek football reached a new level? What is your opinion on our national team’s performance?
