Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola shared his thoughts on the squad and the defensive line. The Spanish specialist particularly highlighted the actions of Uzbekistan national team member Abdukodir Khusanov on the right wing.
"Do current players have to play in Kyle Walker's style? No, of course not. I wanted to keep every one of our former players, they made a huge contribution to the club. But football itself is such that someone comes, and someone continues on their way. Every athlete should take a step forward in their career.
Speaking about Khusanov, it's too early to draw a definitive conclusion. But I'm satisfied with him - he recently played on the right wing and inspired confidence. At the same time, players like Mateus Nunez, Rico Lewis, or John Stones can also play on this line. From this point of view, everything is in balance. I can't say for sure now whether the club is conducting new research in this area," Guardiola said.
Guardiola's words demonstrate Khusanov's high confidence in his future at City. At the same time, according to the head coach, the competition is fierce, and every player needs to show themselves even more.
