Abbosbek Fayzullayev speaks openly ahead of national team training camp and match against Iran

The Uzbekistan national football team has officially started an important training camp in Tashkent. Reunited in the capital after a break of several months, the "White Wolves" completed their first day of training. One of the team's leaders, national team and CSKA midfielder Abbosbek Fayzullayev, spoke to journalists after the training session, sharing his excitement about the internal atmosphere in the team, the newly called-up players, and the upcoming responsible test: "It is always very great to return to the national team. Since this is our first training camp after 2-3 months, everyone is in high spirits.

New players have also been invited to the camp. But I can say for sure that weak players are not called up to the national team! Whoever has come is worthy of this jersey, and each of them will try to prove themselves." It is worth noting that this training camp serves not just as a workout, but as a sharpening of strength before a serious exam: on September 24, our representatives will take the field in Fergana for an interesting friendly match against their long-standing and principal rival — the Iran national team.

So, what tactics will the renewed squad of the national team choose against Iran, will Fayzullayev be able to quickly find a common language with the newcomers, and what result is expected from the super clash in Fergana?
