Abduqodir Husanov became the most famous player of the Uzbekistan national team after moving from 'Lans' to 'Manchester City' in January of this year.
There are several reasons for this, of course. Firstly, the 'citizens' spent an extraordinary large sum for the Uzbek footballer, which amounts to 50 million euros when including bonuses, targeting him from more than ten renowned clubs.
Secondly, Abduqodir Husanov suddenly became a starting lineup player upon joining under Xosep Guardiola. The performance of our 21-year-old legionnaire against the strongest attackers of teams like 'Real', 'Liverpool', 'Newcastle', and 'Tottenham' was highly rated by fans and experts.
It has become a common occurrence for famous players, specialists, and coaches in English football to evaluate the potential and talent of the Uzbek footballer.
Now, Abduqodir Husanov has received comments from Roy Keane, a star who has become a legend of 'Manchester United'.
- I think Husanov has forgotten the unfortunate events of his debut match. It is not easy for a player who has just arrived here to adapt to a new country, try to learn the language, and get along with new teammates.
I believe everything has fallen into place for Abduqodir.
It is clear that the player's debut was tough, but this situation is a challenge that every footballer must go through. Husanov is a good player, and everything will eventually fall into place. He needs a little more time to fully adapt.
Husanov will become a top player for 'Manchester City' in the near future, and I have no doubt about that, - said Roy Keane in an interview with ITV.
Abduqodir Husanov is considered one of the players who has quickly risen to the peak of world football. The defender, who learned the secrets of football at 'Bunyodkor', began his professional career in the Belarus championship. In 2022, the player signed his first professional contract with 'Energetik-BGU' and the following summer headed to one of Europe's top leagues - the French championship.
Having defended the honor of 'Lans' in Ligue 1 for a year and a half, Abduqodir Husanov became a player for 'Manchester City' on January 20, 2025.
Our 21-year-old legionnaire celebrated his debut in the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League as a representative of the 'citizens'. Abduqodir will now participate in the World Championship among clubs, which is being organized in a new format by FIFA this summer. If all goes well, Husanov will become the first Uzbek footballer to participate in the upcoming tournament.
Most importantly, Abduqodir Husanov is on the verge of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with the Uzbekistan national team. Our main team is currently in second place in their group, having collected 17 points in the third stage of the regional qualifying tournament. In the remaining two matches, a draw with the United Arab Emirates or a victory over Qatar will also open the doors to the World Cup for our players.
