Maxim Shatskikh walked off the field with his head down amid the deafening boos of 60,000 people at the Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, ignoring his teammate Bakaev, who reached out to hand over to him, and when he returned to the bench, he closed his eyes tiredly and sat there like a deflated ball.

The live broadcast camera was aimed at Zhuo Yang on the field at the right time, and as expected, it was found that he didn't care about Uzbekistan's substitution at all, but was talking to Zheng Zheng Zheng. The two of them smiled, obviously not a serious topic.

In the top 10 of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian qualifiers, China VS Uzbekistan, in the 79th minute of the second half, Uzbekistan's number one star and captain on the field No. 16 Shatskikh was replaced, the score was 2:0, and the home team was in front.

In the final round of the 2006-07 European Champions Cup, Real Madrid challenged Dynamo Kyiv away from home, and Kiev's main striker Shatskikh scored twice in the first half, making the Galaxy lose face. In the second half, substitute Ronaldo stepped up and scored twice to equalize for Real Madrid.

In the summer of 1999, Kyiv Dynamo's star striker and core player 'nuclear warhead' Shevchenko transferred to AC Milan in Italy for 26 million, and the Kiev forward line was in urgent need of reinforcement. Lobanovsky, the old coach of Kyiv and the godfather of Ukrainian football, unexpectedly chose the 21-year-old Uzbek Shatsky, who was unknown at the time, and the transfer fee of 300,000 made people full of doubts about him.

The following season, Shevchenko scored 24 goals in 34 appearances for AC Milan and Shatskikh scored 20 goals in 25 games in the Ukrainian Premier League. Two seasons later, Shatskich won the league Golden Boot again with 22 goals, and before 2008, when Zhuoyang was still 'German', Shatskich was the only Asian striker to win the Europa League Golden Boot.

At that time, some people said that the number one striker in Asia was Ali Daei, but more people were reluctant to admit it, but in fact, they knew in their hearts that Shatzkich was the real number one striker in Asia. Asians are reluctant to accept Shatskikh because he is an outsider, because Uzbekistan is an outsider. As it is now, Australia are Asian teams, but it is difficult to see Colwill and Bresciano as Asian players.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Uzbekistan became an Asian country, but their first appearance in football gave the whole of Asia a resounding slap in the face.

In the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games football match, Uzbekistan went all the way to defeat the traditional Asian powerhouses. At that time, there was no age limit for Asian Games football, and each team competed as a senior national team.

In the first game of the group, Uzbekistan slaughtered the favorite Saudi Arabia 4:1, and then Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand won all four games in the group stage. In the semi-finals, Uzbekistan defeated the star-studded South Korea 1-0 with the only shot of the game.

In the final, Uzbekistan defeated China 4:2 and won the Asian Games football gold medal with a complete victory.

In fact, Uzbek football at that time, not to mention in the former Soviet republics, was not even very good among the five Central Asian countries, at least their foundation was not as good as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan at that time. But it was such a Uzbek team that managed to put together 17 people to participate in the competition, but it played all of Asia without shame.

Since then, Uzbekistan has become a strong team in Asian football that no one dares to ignore, and its success in Asia has also ignited Uzbekistan's enthusiasm for football.

In the top 10 matches of the 2002 World Cup in Asia, the only defeat of the Chinese team in the group was a 0:1 defeat to Uzbekistan in the final round. However, before that, China had already confirmed its qualification, and the all-substitute lineup for this campaign was rewarding.

On that occasion, the 23-year-old Shatskikh did not play a few minutes in the national team because of an injury in the Ukrainian Super League, and he played a few games in poor form. In Dalian Jinzhou and Tashkent, he was defended by General Fan and Li Weifeng respectively. Today, the 31-year-old is still playing for Dynamo Kyiv, and he is a remarkable achievement in the Kyiv all-time goalscorers gang in third place behind Ukraine's legendary Blokhin and Sheva's national team partner Rybrov.

Shatskikh was booed because he inexplicably sprayed Zhuo Yang before the game, and he said that Zhuo Yang was not compatible with the national team, and even if he was excellent, he could not improve the level of the Chinese team. Shatskikh said: Even with Zhuo Yang, Uzbekistan will defeat the Chinese team without surprise, because Zhuo Yang is like duckweed floating on the water, he does not belong to the underwater world.

No one could understand what Shatskich was trying to say, perhaps he was venting his frustration with the Asian football community's differential treatment of him and Zhuo Yang.

Because Dynamo Kyiv is a one-handed existence in Ukraine, it can always take the opportunity to play in the Champions League. With 23 goals in 69 Champions League games, Shatzkikh is not an exaggeration to call him the No. 1 striker in Asia before Zhuo Yang, and he himself thinks so, but now the influence of the two in the world and Asian football is very different.

Because he has played for Ukraine all year round, the AFC awards do not have Shatskyikh's share, and because of the country's popularity, his presence in Asia is not strong. Previously, Shatskikh didn't care, he felt that Asian football was like a shrimp crawler entertaining himself in the mud and sand at the bottom of the pool, and he was an eagle flying in Europe.

Zhuo Yang also has no part in the selection of Asian awards, but his photo now occupies the front page of the AFC's official website, and even if he disdains, it is a treatment that Shatskikh has never enjoyed.

This difference in influence means a huge difference in business income! Zhuo Yang is making a lot of money all over the world, Shatskykh is basically not very fast except for the salary paid by Kiev, even in Uzbekistan, because of the country's weakness and low national purchasing power, Shatskykh has a name but can't get much income.

At the start of the top 10 competition, Shatskikh returned from Ukraine to concentrate, only to find that the streets of Dushanbe had been plastered with various commercial posters of Zhuo Yang, and the economic activities of Chinese businessmen brought Zhuo Yang to all corners of the world. Fans in their countries are talking about Zhuo Yang when they open and close their mouths, and the small domestic brands endorsed by Shatskikh himself have collapsed in front of Zhuo Yang's international brands.

After coming to China with the team, the fans still opened their mouths to talk about Zhuo Yang, but his name Shatskikh made the vast majority of Chinese fans at a loss: Who? What kind of chicken to kill? What stimulus? Kill what? There is not even a single portrait of him in the streets and alleys, and no reporters or citizens will come up to disturb him when he walks around the streets of Guangzhou from morning to death.

Because of injuries and age, Shatsky, who has been seriously downhill, has not played in Kiev this season, and the desolation of the hero's desperation makes him inevitably feel sour, and the agent wears out the soles of his shoes in China but still helplessly tells him that no Super League team is interested in him, and the end of the Eagles makes Shatskikh sad and resentful.

Shatskikh, who was determined to vent his evil anger in this game, was not prevented by Li Weifeng into a piece of today, but his midfield teammates became a puddle of in front of Zhuo Yang and his teammates, and Shatskikh couldn't even get the ball.
