Guardiola spoke warmly about Khusanov: he's an incredible player!

Another wave of positive feedback has emerged regarding Abdukodir Khusanov, who plays for Manchester City. The team's head coach, Josep Guardiola, praised the Uzbek defender's performance and openly stated the impact of his actions against the opponents.
"Khusanov is an incredible footballer. He helped us move against the opponent's long-range passes. He's a player who can control the entire field! Abduqodir continues to grow. He needs to move more confidently, take more active part in ball control - but it's a matter of time. He's a great player in direct defense!" City Report quoted the coach as saying.
There are two important points in these statements: the first is Khusanov's reliability in defense. That is, if the opponent wants to pose a threat with long passes, Abdukodir serves as a "rescuer" for the team in these situations. Secondly, his game still has a large reserve for growth. The coach emphasizes the same: if Khusanov is more active in ball control and construction, his level will rise one more step.
Notably, this is not criticism - on the contrary, it's a sign of great trust. Because the coach says "this is a matter of time." This means the team sees Abdukodir not as a project, but as a ready-made "big player" and expects more from him.
Currently, Manchester City sits in second place in the English Premier League table. The Citizens are six points behind leaders Arsenal. So, at a time when every game, every episode is crucial in the championship race, the role of a reliable defender like Khusanov is even greater.
In conclusion, Abdukodir Khusanov is not just a foreign player playing for City - he is becoming one of the team's key players. Now the fans are waiting for only one thing: to see Husanov, more courageous and impressive in the game with the ball, on top of the stability in the defense.
