The head coach of Kazakhstan did not want to acknowledge the achievements of Uzbekistan

After the match against Liechtenstein (2:0) in the World Cup qualifiers, the interim head coach of the Kazakhstan national team, Ali Aliyev, shared his thoughts about Uzbekistan.

- Uzbekistan is close to qualifying for the World Cup, while we couldn't even take a shot at the opponent's goal in the first 40 minutes. When will we start playing like our neighbors in the region?

- First of all, I want to emphasize that today Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan played with three central defenders. This is the first point. Secondly, if we play in Asia, we will participate in the World Cup. No one should exaggerate Asian football. I have never seen the Uzbekistan national team in a group with the Japanese and Koreans.

We are talking about other things. Did you watch the game between Wales and Macedonia? Macedonia came here and scored three goals, while we scored two, but we brought young players onto the field. They are still inexperienced... We should be happy that we won today, after all, we haven't been able to win in many games. We will analyze and provide all the information.

I watched the game of Kyrgyzstan against Qatar. Qatar walked around and didn't want to do anything... We should be happy today. We brought Dastan Satpayev onto the field and gave opportunities to Galimjan Kenjebek and Naurizbek Jagorov. We need performers. We need time. If we had recorded a 0:0, you would have punished Aliyev in the new field. But we won 2:0. Until the next game – we can be proud for two months.
