After China U-20' 2:2 draw with Uzbekistan U-20, Farkhod Nishonov, the head coach of Uzbekistan U-20, was interviewed by Titan Sports (2/2): "I've also heard that the Chinese U-20 is improving steadily, and it's clear that they showed a strong side today. They are just as formidable as the last Chinese team I faced (referring to the China U22 team from the 2003/04 age group coached by Antonio Puche). I look forward to seeing them achieve great results. "
