Guardiola: "I am very grateful for the signing of Husanov"

In the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup, Manchester City defeated Plymouth 3-1, but there was bad news for the team. The problems with the defenders continue - Nathan Ake was also injured and was out for a long time.

After the match, City manager Josep Guardiola commented on this:

“Unfortunately, another of our central defenders is out for a long time. We will miss Nathan Ake. But I am very grateful to the club for signing Khusanov and Vitor Reis. Otherwise, we would not have been able to fight for a place in the Champions League and the FA Cup. Without them, it would not have been possible. Because we would only have Diaz,” Guardiola said.

Serious problem in the "City" defense

Manchester City has recently been experiencing major problems with the defenders. Earlier, the team's leading defenders John Stones and Manuel Akanji were injured and were out for a long time. Now Nathan Ake has also joined them.

In this situation, a great opportunity is emerging for young defenders Abdukadir Khusanov and Vitor Reis. They can now become the backbone of the "City" defense.

A new test for Khusanov

Talented Uzbek defender Abdukadir Khusanov has recently joined the team and his performances for "City" have aroused great interest among fans. He has shown that he is adapting very quickly in Guardiola's system and can become one of the main defenders of the team in the current situation.

While these problems in the defensive line of "Manchester City" are a serious test for the team, for Khusanov they are a real opportunity. Will he be able to show himself on the big stage? We'll see the answer in the upcoming games! Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
