A terrifying 5-0 masterclass from "City": How was Husanov's performance rated?
The reigning champion of the English League Cup, "Manchester City", started its campaign in the tournament in devastating fashion! Joining the battle from the fourth round, Enzo Maresca's men put five unanswered goals past "Norwich City", tearing their opponent apart. However, this match went down in history not only for the heavy scoreline, but also for Uzbek defender Abdukodir Husanov's leadership role in defense and the fantastic breakthrough of the young new stars in the starting lineup. So, how did the influential English publication rate the players, and who became the main hero of the night?
Husanov in his usual position: "City's" defense operated flawlessly
Appearing on the right flank last time, Abduqodir Husanov returned to his favorite central defense position this time and successfully commanded the backline:
Reliable defense: Husanov left virtually no chances for the opponent's forwards, maintaining solid discipline in the defensive line;
A comfortable debut for Rulli: Goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli played his first match for "City", but due to the defense led by Husanov, virtually no work was required of him;
The coach's trust: The young defender proved once again that he is becoming the core of the team's defense in the English Cup matches.
Sensation in attack: Flawless debut for Samba and Allan
"Floyd Samba's debut in the main team was fantastic. He scored a brace, demonstrated high-level skill in ball handling, and became the man of the match."
While young forward Floyd Samba scored two goals, new acquisitions Rayan Cherki, Brazilian Allan, and substitute Ryan McAidoo also got their names on the scoreboard.
