The match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City in the 28th round of the English Premier League was watched with great interest. This match between teams fighting for the top positions in the competition table was full of serious disputes.
Although the "city" team was significantly superior to the opponent in terms of possession and positional advantage, 3 points went to Nottingham Forest. The only goal scored by Callum Hudson-Odoi gave the hosts an important victory.
Khusanov is City's best player again
Abdukadir Khusanov has become one of the players that Pep Guardiola has trusted the most in his backline since joining the team in January. In this match, the Uzbek defender played the full 90 minutes and once again showed a high level of play.
Khusanov's key performance indicators in the game:
1. Possessing the ball - the opposing attackers have repeatedly denied Khusanov their chances.
2. Reliable defending - the Uzbek defender has played at a high level in neutralizing the attacks of the opposing attackers.
3. Precise passes – Abdukadir excelled in long passes and deep passes, even from outside the penalty area.
4. Leaving no opponents any chances – Nottingham Forest forwards, especially Chris Wood and Callum Hudson-Odoi, were left without a chance against Husanov on many occasions.
Guardiola's most reliable defender
Joseph Guardiola has repeatedly stressed that the team's defensive line has stabilized after inviting Abdukadir Husanov to the team. Among the new transfers, Husanov is one of the best-adapted players, and the head coach has great confidence in him.
Pep Guardiola: "We played a reliable game in defense. Husanov performed at a high level again today. The team's defense has been solid when he was on the field. We don't have other options at the moment, but he justifies his trust."
Despite Manchester City dominating the game, Nottingham Forest secured a crucial victory through counterattacks. Abdukodyr Khusanov was one of the team's best players in this match.
Khusanov's defensive consistency and passing accuracy have once again confirmed his important place in the City team.
Guardiola is very pleased with the Uzbek defender and can see him as a key pillar of the team's defense in the future.
Manchester City will now take part in the next match against Brighton. Khusanov is expected to start in this match as well. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
