The Uzbekistan national football team faced difficult challenges in the first two matches of its first-ever World Cup. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Our representatives were defeated by Colombia 1:3 and Portugal 0:5. The team and its leadership came under criticism for these results.

Andrey Fyodorov, a former player of the Uzbekistan national team, shared his thoughts on the unsuccessful results in the tournament. Commenting on the appointment of head coach Fabio Cannavaro, he stated that if he were the decision-maker, he would not have appointed the former Italian national team player as head coach, but would have kept Timur Kapadze in the position.

According to Fyodorov, "If it were up to me, I would not have appointed Fabio Cannavaro as the head coach of the Uzbekistan national team. I would have kept Timur Kapadze.

He was performing the tasks set for him well as the head coach of the national team." The former footballer noted that Cannavaro also had his own specific motivation for working in Uzbekistan.

However, he believes that the change of coach did not affect the team's participation in the World Cup. At the same time, Fyodorov noted that Uzbekistan's chance of reaching the play-off stage is not yet completely lost.

He said, "I cannot say that the Uzbekistan national team will definitely not get out of the group. The hope is not very great, but it still exists.

For this, first and foremost, the DR Congo national team must be defeated." Fyodorov assessed DR Congo as a serious opponent and specifically emphasized that this team has demonstrated its strengths in the group stage.

"Congo showed itself to be quite strong in the group stage," added the former Uzbekistan national team player. As a reminder, the decisive match between the national teams of Uzbekistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo will take place on June 28 in the USA.

The match, which is of great importance for both teams, will start at 04:30 Tashkent time. Source: one.uz
