Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov met face-to-face with Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov during his visit to Manchester City's headquarters. The famous athlete also shared his impressions of Husanov after this match.
According to Nurmagomedov, their meeting lasted about an hour. But the most interesting thing is that, in Khabib's words, Khusanov didn't say a word during this time.
"He didn't say a word during our hour-long meeting. May Allah protect you, brother. All the people of Uzbekistan have high hopes for you. Don't give up and keep moving forward," Nurmagomedov wrote on his social media page.
In these words, there is not only simple motivation, but also great confidence and responsibility: Khabib openly pointed out to Khusanov that "you didn't come here for nothing." Because in a giant club like Manchester City, every opportunity is a test, every minute is an exam.
As a reminder, Abdukodir Khusanov came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea in the 20th round of the Premier League. Through this match, the Uzbek footballer made another appearance on the English stage and further renewed hope for the fans.
Now, the most important thing is to justify this trust. Because in big football, you can't go far with the word "talent": you need work every day, discipline in every training session, character in every game. As Khabib said, not giving up and striving forward is the key to this path.
But the fans know one thing well: Abdukodir is highly trusted. Now is the time to put this trust into practice on the field.
