«With Husanov on the pitch, no goals for the opponent»: «Manchester City» marvels at the Uzbek defender's performance
European powerhouse «Manchester City»'s official website has closely analyzed the performances of its stars who left for their national teams during the international break! One of the main figures in the club's spotlight was the talented Uzbek central defender Abdukodir Husanov. Specialists from the English club were deeply impressed by the fact that during the match against Syria in Tashkent (4:1), while our legionnaire was on the pitch, the opponent was completely unable to get near the goal. Meanwhile, the team's top scorer, Erling Haaland, suffered a surprise defeat with the Norway national team. So, how did the «Citizens» evaluate their stars' performances on international duty?
When Husanov is on the pitch — the goal is locked!
«Manchester City»'s press service paid special attention to Abdukodir Husanov's flawless performance for the Uzbekistan national team:
85 minutes of absolute control: Husanov started in the lineup and stifled every opponent attack for 85 minutes;
The Uzbek defender subbed off — Syria scored: The Syria national team could not open the score while Abdukodir was on the pitch; the visitors' sole consolation goal was scored only after Husanov was substituted;
A confident victory: Our national team's bright 4:1 victory was highly praised on the club's website.
