Good news for Abdukadir Khusanov

Abduqadir Khusanov, the central defender of the national team of Uzbekistan, is quickly becoming a world-class star in the current English champion Manchester City.

The footballfancast.com portal, which covers English football, analyzed what the future holds for the 21-year-old Uzbek player in the world's most difficult league.

- After a crisis that lasted several months in the first half of the season, Josep Guardiola realized that it was time to revive the team in the second half of the championship by adding new players to the squad.

In particular, the injury-proneness of players such as Manuel Akanji and John Stones required renewal and changes to start from the defensive line. There is no doubt that 18-year-old Vitor Reis, who was brought in in January, will become an important player in the future.

Meanwhile, City's backline problems are being solved by Abdukadir Khusanov, who has easily integrated into the team.

Abdukadir, 21, is proud to have become the first Uzbek player to play in the English Premier League. The City paid 33.5 million pounds to the French club Lens for this player.

Since his arrival in Manchester, the Uzbek legionnaire has been one of the most important transfers for head coach Josep Guardiola. Before Manchester City acquired the player, he had played in a total of 31 games for the Ligue 1 team.

It was in these matches that he showed his quality. In particular, in the first half of the French top division, the young defender ranked first in the rating for possession of the ball per 90 minutes with an indicator of 2.4, and in the fight for balls from above with a result of 2.49, he was in 17th place.

Since becoming a Manchester City player, Abdukadir has played in seven matches so far, firmly holding the center of defense, and in addition, he scored against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, - writes Ross Kilvingdon, an expert from the footballfancast.com portal.

Journalist Alex Barker analyzed Abdukadir Khusanov's game and emphasized that the physical strength of the 21-year-old player amazes everyone, and the Uzbek player has demonstrated his talent in England in every possible way. This is also confirmed by statistics.

Abdukadir has a pass accuracy of 92% in five Premier League matches, and a second-tier victory rate of 57%. According to these indicators, Abdukadir is on a par with Arsenal's leading defender William Saliba (pass accuracy of 94, aerial duels winning rate of 61%) and Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk (pass accuracy of 92, aerial duels winning rate of 71%).

Experts say that Abdukadir Khusanov has started his life and career in England very well, and if the team is not going to fight for the championship in the Premier League, then he needs to adapt to the team even more deeply.

They say that Khusanov has great things to do next season, and with his current approach, the 21-year-old legionnaire will soon become one of the best defenders in world football. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
