The Uzbekistan national team achieved a great success in the new international “FIFA Series” tournament. The decisive match took place at the “Bunyodkor” stadium against the Venezuelan team. The regular time ended with no goals, but in the penalty shootout, Fabio Cannavaro’s pupils won 5:4 and became the champions of the tournament. This became another historic moment for our national team.
One of our well-known experts, Islam Akhmedov, gave a detailed analysis of our national team’s game against Venezuela. In his opinion, in such a playing strategy, every player must clearly know their duties on the field and act quickly.
Akhmedov emphasized that when the opponent moves into attack, our team applies active pressing, forcing the opponent to make mistakes. If the opponent controls the ball, it is necessary to switch to positional defense, and after taking the ball, to organize a fast counterattack. When our team possesses the ball, it is important to use the wing players, advance the ball with vertical passes forward, and finish attacking actions with individual moves in the third zone.
“Playing in this style is very difficult, but it is possible to understand that our coach is preparing the team for the World Cup,” says Akhmedov. According to him, the players did an excellent job understanding this plan and tried to follow all instructions on the field.
“In one of his latest interviews, the coach mentioned his concern about the championship level of Super League teams. Watching the game against Venezuela, I saw exactly what he wants to see in each player and in the overall team play. I understand his concern very well,” Akhmedov added.
After the tournament ends, the players will return to their clubs, and the main question for the coach is whether the candidates for the national team will continue to work under this regime and requirements. This gives hope that our national team will be able to achieve high results in the future as well.
For fans, this victory became not only a joy but also a symbol of Uzbek football rising to a new level.
