Changzhou: Odiljon Xamrobekov has revealed that he is grateful for the support given to his Uzbekistan side after being awarded the Most Valuable Player presented by TOYOTA following the Central Asian nation’s 2-1 win over Vietnam in Saturday’s AFC U23 Championship final.
The talented midfielder was an ever-present for Uzbekistan throughout the tournament, with his display in the final undoubtedly one of his best in China.
However, despite his glowing reviews and personal accolade, Xamrobekov was quick to dedicate his own award and the U23 title success to those who believed in both himself and his teammates the most.
“All the trophies that we have won today, they are for everyone, for all the delegation, all the staff, and for all those people who believed in us,” explained Uzbekistan’s number seven.
“After we lost the opening match (against Qatar), not many people thought we would succeed, but those closest to us definitely did.
"The success we had is not only mine, or the head coach’s, or the team’s, it is for everyone.”
