Abdukodir Khusanov could become an elite Manchester City player – opinion of a famous scout

The 2023 U-20 World Cup in Argentina discovered many young talents. One of the players who stood out in the U-20 national team of Uzbekistan at this tournament was Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov. His game did not go unnoticed by famous scouts.

Football scout Cenk Cetin commented on Khusanov's excellent game in this tournament and gave high marks for his prospects.

Khusanov - a combination of physical strength and speed

Cetin noted that one of Khusanov's main advantages is his dominance in the fight for the ball in the air. The scout, analyzing his four matches in the competition, says:

“In addition to physical strength, he has a combination of speed and agility. This is a significant advantage against opposing attackers.”

In particular, his successful performance against technically and physically strong strikers such as Anan Halaili and Tay Abed in the 1/8 finals against Israel showed that he has a bright future.

Success at Manchester City

According to Cetin, if Khusanov adapts to English football and overcomes the language barrier, he can become an elite player under Pep Guardiola.

“Over time, he will overcome the language barrier and become an important player for City.”

This could create new opportunities in the football market for Uzbekistan and Central Asia.

Central Asia is a new force in the football market

According to the scout, the Central Asian region, and Uzbekistan in particular, will become a region that will attract a lot of attention in football in the coming years.

“Thanks to players like Khusanov and Daston Satpayev, this interest will grow exponentially in the coming years,” says Chetin.

This means that not only Khusanov, but also other young players will have more opportunities to prove themselves in Europe.

Abdukodir Khusanov is seen as one of the talented defenders who can prove himself at Manchester City. His physical strength, speed and ability to accurately sense the position are important aspects for him to become a great player. If he can adapt to English football, he is likely to play an important role in the City team in the coming years. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
