After the most recent performance of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola issued a “massive” verdict regarding Abdukodir Khusanov. Abdukodir Khusanov’s acquisition by Manchester City appears to

 

 

have been a stroke of brilliance, despite the club’s somewhat chaotic January. Manchester City suffered a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground over the weekend. Chelsea’s victory over Leicester City on Sunday resulted in City’s elimination from the top four.

 

 

 

 

This was a serious setback. In simple terms, Pep Guardiola has a significant amount of work to do in order to ensure that City secure Champions League football for the upcoming season. The city remains unstable, particularly during the transition. The midfield has been unable to provide adequate protection, resulting in the backline being frequently under duress this term.

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, there are still individuals who harbour negative opinions about Khusanov due to his challenging debut against Chelsea. Khusanov has been perceived by many as a player who is out of his depth since his first game against the Blues at the Etihad Stadium, which was a game that he will soon forget.However, this has not been the case, and Khusanov’s recent performances have earned him the Player of the Month award at City.

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless, Khusanov has been regarded favourably by those who observe him on a weekly basis. Khusanov was recently even referred to as a potential future captain by a few Man City supporters. Guardiola was effusive in his praise of him after the game, and he was superb once again on Saturday, despite the defeat to Forest. He declared,

 

 

 

 

“The effect has been significantly positive.” We are unable to compel him to perform an action as if it were still necessary. However, it is extremely effective in terms of defensiveness, aggression, and concentration. Khusanov’s current performance is exceedingly gratifying following his challenging debut against Chelsea. It is evident that he possesses an exceptional mentality.

 

 

 

 

Not many athletes would have mounted such an impressive comeback following such an initial performance. However, Khusanov has truly flourished in a City shirt since his initial appearance, and his statistics against Forest were particularly impressive. The youngster demonstrated exceptional ball control, accomplishing 65 of 71 shots (92%). Additionally, he received 84 contacts, which suggests that his teammates have developed a high level of confidence in him.

 

 

 

Ruben Dias (104) and Josko Gvardiol (120) were the only individuals with a higher number.
