Uzbek player Abdukadir Khusanov has become an important figure for the team since joining City in the winter transfer window. His reliable defensive play and accurate passing from low are in line with Guardiola's tactics.

Since Khusanov joined the team, he has played 6 official matches, and in 4 of them, City left the field “dry”, that is, they acted reliably in defense.

After the match, Josep Guardiola also spoke positively about Abdukadir Khusanov:

“Today we gave the opponent very few chances. They easily took advantage of only one situation. We played well in defense. Khusanov is a true professional. Both when he is on the field and with Dias, our game is going well,” said Guardiola.

These words show that Khusanov occupies an important place in Guardiola’s main plans.
