Pep Guardiola recognized Abdukadir Khusanov's skillful game

In the 28th round of the English Premier League, the reigning champion Manchester City lost 1:0 away to Nottingham Forest. The only goal of the match was scored by Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 83rd minute.

City's advantage, but ineffectiveness

- Manchester City had 69% of the ball control during the match, had 14 shots, but only 3 of them hit the target.
- Nottingham Forest had 9 shots, 4 of which were on target.

Team standings:
- Nottingham Forest climbed to 3rd place with 51 points after this victory.
- Manchester City remained in 4th place with 47 points.

Guardiola's thoughts: Khusanov played well!

At the post-match press conference, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the following about his team's performance and the defenders' actions:

"We controlled the game well, but we didn't create many chances. The opponent defended very well. We didn't create chances to finish the attack. In the first half, we had opportunities to shoot from distance, but they were unclear."

"We gave the opponent very few chances today. They took advantage of only one chance easily. We played well defensively. Khusanov really played well. We don't have any other players, but we still played good football."

"Our defense worked well, both when Khusanov was on the field and with Diaz."

City have 10 finals ahead

- Guardiola says Manchester City need to play 10 crucial matches to secure a place in the Champions League.
- City face a crucial match against Brighton in the next round.

Abdukadir Khusanov was particularly praised by Guardiola despite the defeat. He played a solid game alongside Dias in the City defence, leaving very few opportunities for the opposition forwards.

City are lagging behind in the title race, but there are still 10 finals to play. Can they take advantage of this opportunity? Only time will tell. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
