It seems alot of Uzbeks and Kazahks play for Ukranian and Russian leagues then to Turkish league and other European leagues - moving West?? I know there sizable Korean community living in this region and I heard in recent times living has been difficult. I also know there were several Korean Uzbeks who played for national team. I think we can find some similarity between Koreans and these central Asian nations, although they are in different geographical zone their ancient root of nomadic horse-riding tribes are the same. I am convinced by this theory - Koreans have their roots in Central Asia. Anyhow, I think Uzbeks and Kazahks are improving quickly and has been pretty impressive breeding new talents. Good luck to them.
