In Kasimov's impression, this Hong Kong team is not that fragile. This is also everyone's impression of the Hong Kong team that debuted after Baggio was coached. In the three European open warm-up matches, they dared to play hard, except for the left and right
In addition to the slightly thin body of the winger, the players on the entire central axis have a certain ability to withstand impact.
Quasimodo also clearly knew the weaknesses of the Central Asian teams. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan completely changed the national system. Previously, the state-funded sports teams at all levels, as well as the army sports teams and the railway military sports teams
, the sports teams of large enterprises such as coal mines and oil mines were all axed after changing to the "** system" and changed to a market model, especially football, following the example of Japan, South Korea and China, and embarked on the road of professionalization.
It's just that in the process of learning about China, Japan and South Korea, the Uzbekistan Football Association is more biased towards China and wants to take a "shortcut" to let some people get rich first. Specifically, it is to make the top league prosperous through large investments.
Fire, driving the ball market to create prosperity, etc.
After each club becomes profitable, they will build college-age reserve teams - high school-age reserve teams - junior high school-age reserve teams according to the Japanese and Korean models, and then popularize primary school-age football nationwide. That is
"China Model".
Compared with the "top-down" Chinese model, the Korean model and the Japanese model are "bottom-up" starting from laying the foundation. South Korea has been engaged in football since the 1960s and 1970s, while Japanese football
The Rise Project started in 1980 with the popularity of their animated comic "Captain Tsubasa" and has produced ten
There was no improvement in the coming year. South Korea and China have always been the losers. On the contrary, after China became professional in 1994, it became extremely popular in just two or three years. Therefore, after Uzbekistan inspected these neighbors,
Decided not to consider Japan's slow model.
The start of professionalization is almost the same as that of China. The damage caused by this "castle in the air" is also the same as that of China. It is basically the same as China. After professionalization has been carried out for about ten years, after the previous "privatization of the national system"
All those players are old, there is no national system, and the club has not had time to develop various echelons due to economic reasons. The rate of decline in the football level of the entire Uzbekistan is very obvious.
Just like Chinese football, people drink poison to quench their thirst for short-term benefits. They hope to achieve good international results through youth teams to attract capital attention and stimulate the enthusiasm of the football market. Therefore, they continue to use over-age players to participate in competitions and continue to allow players to strengthen their physical fitness and strength in advance.
Strengthen tactics to achieve good results in youth competitions...
Therefore, the Uzbekistan team in 2010 is completely different from the one that won the Asian Games in 1994 in terms of technology. They were just a bunch of rough guys running around with their strength and gambling with their speed whether the final kick would be accurate or not.
No, the team's top star Shatskih is already 32 years old. When Shatskih retires, Uzbekistan will undoubtedly fall to an even lower bottom!
Uzbekistan was whistled for a foul and a yellow card was given in three minutes. This penalty also set the tone for the game. For Uzbekistan, whose strength and collision performance accounted for 60% of the team's performance, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
They hit a big stick!

Fortunately, the opponent's location is relatively far away from the goal, 434 meters, and almost one meter away from the sideline. From this position, Chen Zhuo's probability of success with a direct shot is very low.
This is like shooting a three-pointer. A 50% hit rate near the three-point line is already very high. If you go one meter further out, it may drop to 25%. If you go one meter further out, it will only be 10%.
, and further back, you can only rely on blindness. The same is basically true for free kicks in football, and the hit rate is even lower because there is a goalkeeper there.
In terms of height, Uzbek players are generally over 1.8 meters tall. Their average height is several centimeters higher than that of the Hong Kong team. They also have a certain advantage in defending high-altitude balls. This is one reason why they use set kicks as a means of scoring goals.
Chen Zhuo serves, Zhai Tingfeng, Guo Jianbang and Ouyang Yaochong, three players without a height advantage, are responsible for supplementary shots from the outside and use their speed to defend against the Uzbekistan team's long pass counterattack. The other six players are all crowded.
After entering the opponent's goal, as the referee blew the whistle, Chen Zhuo hoisted the ball into the goal.
"Beep~~~" The referee whistled again!
This time, it was signaled that Garson had committed a collision. During the fight for the header, Garson knocked an Uzbek center defender away in the air, creating space for Chen Zhaoqi. During the header, both sides had their hands moving, and the referee decisively blew the whistle to end the fight.
This attack by the Hong Kong team.
The Lebanese referee was very strict in enforcing the law in this game, blowing the whistle very tightly for fouls committed by both sides.
After Uzbekistan dropped the ball, it was about to kick the ball away. Chen Zhaoqi ran over and kicked the ball away, preventing the opponent from taking the free kick and buying time for his teammates to return to defense. As a result, a dispute broke out between the players of both sides. The referee ran over and kicked the ball away to Chen Zhaoqi.
and Uzbekistan team’s No. 4 central defender each received a yellow card…
In the first 5 minutes, the referee issued 3 yellow cards. Compared with the previous game, these were two completely different penalty standards!
This kind of severe penalty scale is also what Baggio needs. Basically, this first 5-minute test met Baggio's expectations.

The next 15 minutes were about attacking No. 8 player Yeparov and restricting No. 9 player Nassimov. They focused on solid defense first and disrupted Uzbekistan's offensive plan.
It was exactly the same as the starting line-up in the previous game, and the formation was still 3-5-2. The three players of Gason, Chen Zhaoqi and Chen Zhuo also cooperated to intercept the defensive midfielder Yeparov, forcing the Uzbekistan team to hastily pass the long ball.
, the midfield and backfield players formed a triangle defense system nearby to contain Nassimov.
However, once he made a mistake while guarding Nassimov, which gave Shatskih a chance to break through. As analyzed before the game, Shatskih's power with the ball was far inferior to his running without the ball.
He was in a position to grab the spot and shoot. Facing Rong Aping alone, Shatskih actually made the ball bigger!
In the end, under the protection of Rong Aping, goalkeeper Liang Xingjie confiscated the ball. The audience gave warm applause after exclaiming. Uzbekistan coach Quasimodo also beat his chest and sighed on the sidelines.
The defense was successful, but in terms of offense, the Hong Kong team did not have much chance.
Since he is clearly aware of his team's left-back shortcomings, for the Hong Kong team's sharp right midfielder Ouyang Yaochong, Uzbekistan head coach Quasimodo used another player whose speed and assist ability are not as good as Denisov's for this game.
The left back sacrificed Denisov's assist from the left to deal with the fast attack from the right midfielder Ouyang Yaochong.
The left-back wearing the No. 14 jersey is also conscientious in defense. In response to Ouyang Yaochong's breakthrough, he resolutely implemented the arrangement of letting the ball pass but not letting anyone pass. At the same time, he paid great attention to his skills and implemented a close-fitting approach to Ouyang Yaochong.
The interference and delay left the ball to the central defender to destroy. This kind of cooperation also made Ouyang Yaochong's breakthroughs unsuccessful several times.
Ouyang Yao-chung was repeatedly frustrated on the right, and Guo Jianbang was also taken care of by the opponent's defenders on the left. The Hong Kong team's fast horses on both wings encountered the stumbling blocks set by Uzbekistan.
It seems that Quasimodo has done an in-depth study of the Hong Kong team led by Baggio, and at the same time regards the Hong Kong team as the opponent he most wants to win in the group.
In another match of this group that ended in the afternoon, the United Arab Emirates defeated the Bangladesh team 3:0, which was the same score as Uzbekistan's victory over the Bangladesh team. The Bangladesh team had been eliminated early after losing two games.
For Uzbekistan, their pressure in this game is greater than that of the Hong Kong team. Even if Hong Kong loses this game, it does not matter. The next game will be against Bangladesh, the weakest team in the group. I believe that the Hong Kong team can win easily with the strength of the Hong Kong team.
If the Uzbekistan team wins this game, they can qualify early. If they lose this game, they will have to fight the UAE team in the last game to have a chance to qualify.
Compared with the next match against the United Arab Emirates, Kasimov feels that he is more confident in this match against the Hong Kong team.

After encountering obstacles in passing Yeparov, Kasimov directed Nassimov from the sidelines to retreat to the midfield, and the center back passed the ball directly to the midfield to find Nassimov. Nassimov then
Make a diagonal pass or a through ball to find Shatskih, and use the two points of Nasimov and Shatskih to form a breakthrough or create a set ball, trying to quickly open up the situation in this simpler and more direct way.
To put it this way is a polite way of saying it. To put it rudely, it means that Uzbekistan has no other options.
According to Baggio's pre-match arrangements, in addition to deploying heavy troops at these three key points, other offensive points can be "played closer", with two man-marking central defenders and Rong Aping, a deep-lying central defender, to deal with them.
Throughout the first half, both sides went back and forth, with no particularly good opportunities.
At the beginning of the second half, neither side made any personnel adjustments, but the Hong Kong team launched a fierce offensive from the two wings at the beginning, seeming to want to take the lead and break the stalemate as soon as possible.
In the second minute of the second half, Hong Kong team Ouyang Yiu made a quick counterattack from the right. He broke in and shot from a small angle on the right side of the goal, but the Uzbekistan goalkeeper fell to the ground and blocked the bottom line.
In the ensuing corner kick, Chen Zhuo's corner kick and Chen Zhaoqi fought for the landing spot, but due to interference from the opponent's players, it went over the crossbar. The two sides switched offensive and defensive rights.
Immediately after the 5th minute, the Hong Kong team stole the ball in the middle and handed it to Chen Zhuo. Chen Zhuo's long pass was lobbed to the goal. Chen Zhaoqi's header was knocked out of the baseline by the Uzbekistan defender.
In the subsequent corner kick, Chen Zhaoqi fought for the first spot and headed the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately the ball went slightly wide.
The passive situation of four shots and two corner kicks in five minutes also made Kasimov decide to make adjustments to change the current unfavorable situation.
Left back Denisov and winger Urunov both stood on the sidelines. Kasimov wanted to replace two players at once. Baggio was also calmly observing Kasimov's substitution intention.
