In the 7th round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City will travel to Norway today to face local side Budø Glimt. Before the away game, City's head coach, Josep Guardiola, highlighted the potential of Uzbek center-back Abduqodir Husanov and praised his capabilities. In short, Guardiola gave the signal that "this guy is ready" - now it's about the field.
Interestingly, several influential publications have also released an estimated City squad for the match. According to the provided options, Husanov is expected to start the game from the first minutes. This means that even in the very harsh atmosphere on the Norwegian field, great confidence is being placed in the Uzbek defender.
The probable content in the Squawka interpretation is as follows:
- Gianluigi Donnarumma; Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Max Allen, Nathan Ake; Rodri; Tijjani Reynders, Nico O'Reilly; Ryan Cherky, Erling Haaland, Jeremy Dock.
Sports Mole proposed a different option:
- Donnarumma; Lewis, Husanov, Alleyn, Ait-Nuri; Cherki, Reynders, O'Reilly, Mukasa, Doku; Holand.
As can be seen, there is a common point in both versions: the goal - Donnarumma, forward - Haaland, and in the center of defense - Husanov's name. That is, tonight there's a lot of responsibility in defense, and ahead, the main hopes for goals are traditionally pinned on Haaland.
The Budø Glimt vs. Manchester City match kicks off at 10:45 PM. In today's match, the focus on Husanov's performance will be double: on the one hand, Guardiola's confidence, and on the other - a tough test on the European stage.
