England, get to know Husanov well! They said his three "nicknames"...

The central defender of the Uzbekistan national team, Abdukodyr Khusanov, has been the center of various discussions since his transfer from Lens to Manchester City.

In particular, a lot of information is being spread about our player on social networks. First of all, this is due to the fact that our 20-year-old legionnaire moved to a very famous club for a total of 50 million euros.

Moreover, the young player made his debut in the most difficult and intense league in the world on the fifth day after moving to England. Also, in the second match against City in the FA Cup, he came on as a substitute and scored a goal, saving Josep Guardiola from a humiliating defeat.

In general, Abdukadir Khusanov, who scored the goal against Chelsea, won the love of Manchester City's ardent fans at the next opportunity and justified the trust of the coaches.

Information about Abdukadir Khusanov is increasing in the English press. On the one hand, this is important in introducing our compatriot to a wider English audience.

- When Abdukadir Khusanov came to Lens, no one knew him. He didn't play much in his debut season. But then, when given the opportunity, he began to do incredible things.

Khusanov loves to put pressure on the opponent. He never relaxes, he can't stomach losing in one-on-one matches. He is a physically strong player, - described Luke Entwistle, editor-in-chief of Get French Football News.

In the world of sports, there is a tradition of giving famous stars nicknames based on their unique characteristics. Abdukadir Khusanov is not left out.

British journalist Alex Brotherston has found out that Khusanov currently has three nicknames. These are "Monster", "Tank" and "Train".

So, who came up with these comparisons?

Abdukadir was first called "Monster" by Lens and France goalkeeper Brice Samba.

- Khusanov is a "monster", did you see how he played against Nice?... I was scared of him. It's amazing how he plays like that at his age. We probably won't be able to keep him with that kind of game for long, - said experienced goalkeeper Brice Samba.

Lens head coach Will Still began to call him "Tank" to explain our compatriot's physical strength, fighting spirit and fearlessness in confrontations.

Alex Brotherston finally writes that the nickname "Train" was given to Khusanov by Uzbek fans. Indeed, during our national team matches, fans joked, "What if Khusanov hit the opponent, or did the Afrosiab train hit him?"

By the way, in almost all the matches in which Khusanov played, it became a habit for our legionnaire to catch up with the opponent's attackers at high speed and throw them away in a shoulder-to-shoulder fight.

This has also been recognized by European experts.

- Abdukodyr Khusanov is a physically strong player, distinguished by his strong and intense movements, aerial skills and aggressive style.

The Uzbek player is confident on the ball, but his greatest strength is his great speed, his ability to catch up with fast attackers, take the ball away from them and start the team's attack, - concluded Thomas Bullock, Central Asia researcher at the Football Manager Center.

Those who follow Abdukodyr Khusanov's career, given his young age, hope that an experienced specialist like Josep Guardiola will discover new facets of the Uzbek player.

So, we will continue to closely monitor Abdukodyr Khusanov's games. Because a player who will create new history is being formed before our eyes... Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
