Khusanov's ball withdrawal has officially reached the top level in the EPL

Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov has been demonstrating his readiness and worthiness to play for Manchester City this season. Our 21-year-old legionnaire is becoming increasingly talked about in English football - especially in terms of winning the ball from opponents and acting reliably in duels.

The Squawka Research Center, known for its statistical analysis in world football, has published a ranking of players in the English Premier League who have the highest number of interceptions. According to the announcement, Manchester City's Uzbek defender, Abdukodir Khusanov, has made it to the top five in the Premier League.

It is reported that Husanov's effectiveness in receiving the ball from the opponent in matches is 91.7%. This is the fifth result among 544 players registered for the Premier League this season. Even more interestingly, in terms of all defenders in the league, Abdukodir is among the top four in this indicator.

The numbers within the club are also worthy of respect: among the 29 players registered for "Manchester City," Khusanov began to be mentioned as one of the two best players in terms of ball possession.

Another important aspect is highlighted in prestigious analyses: this season, in 7 out of 8 matches Khusanov participated in the Premier League, the opponents managed to outmaneuver him only once. Even in that single instance, it was noted that Abdukodir played on the right wing, not at his usual point - central defense.

This trend was also not hidden by Josep Guardiola. The City coach commented on his Uzbek student as follows:

- Khusanov is a very reliable player. He has unique abilities and characteristics. Indeed, he is a unique player. Abdukodir eliminates all situations in the rear. He himself enjoys playing like that. Khusanov is getting stronger step by step. He always plays with 100% of his strength. This is a top transfer! He possesses unique qualities.

It's worth noting that Abdukodir appeared more often in the right wing defense during the first half of the season. However, due to worsening problems with central defenders, the club is reportedly focusing heavily on maintaining a strong central defense.

In short, Khusanov's numbers and his work on the field are not just "prospects" - it's already a result. Now the most important thing is to maintain this pace and remain cool even under the high pressure at City.
