October 21st Recently, former Italian national team captain and current Uzbek national team coach Cannavaro accepted an interview with the media when attending an event in Rome. He talked about the Italian national team and Gattuso's appointment.

■About Gattuso

"I admire Gattuso very much. As often happens in Italy, when the Football Association decided to appoint him, there was some criticism from the outside world, but he proved that he is a serious coach who is prepared, diligent and dares to use a two-forward formation. I believe he can lead Lead Italy to the World Cup, because the Azzurri are very strong."

■Do you want to play against Gattuso in the World Cup?

Cannavaro smiled and replied: "No, that's not necessary. We have just had the first training session with the ball." We are not very familiar with each other, so this opportunity allows us to get to know each other better. "

■About Uzbekistan

"We played two games. We performed well in the first game and won; we lost to Uruguay in the second game. However, this team is very young, and the Football Association attaches great importance to youth training. Reaching the qualifying stage is no surprise as they have been working on the project for years. There are already some Uzbek players playing in Europe. Their characteristics are very similar to our football philosophy. They are focused, decisive and never give up. I believe that in the next few years, we will see more Uzbek players in European competitions. "
