The match of the 25th round of the English Premier League has come to an end. In this round, "Manchester City" led by Josep Guardiola achieved a significant victory over "Newcastle United" with a score of 4:0.
In this match, the Egyptian star Omar Marmush scored a hat-trick (19, 24, 33). In the 84th minute of the game, Makati further increased the score.
Abduqodir Husanov, a member of our national team, played the entire match. After the match, the "city" coach Josep Guardiola shared his thoughts about our compatriot at the press conference:
- Abduqodir Husanov is very aggressive in one-on-one situations. However, it is evident that this is his roughness. For other experienced central defenders, this would not be a foul. I think he will learn.
- It is not easy to play against "Chelsi" just a few days after joining the team. You saw what happened in the early minutes. It is not easy to come here from Uzbekistan or France. Today he played based on the situation of Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, and others, and this is very good for Husanov, for us, and for shaping the potential we envision.
- He is quite calm with the ball and very fast. If he needs to play against Isak and quickly return, he can do it. Also, decision-making needs to improve, but that is a matter of youth.
- Most importantly, Abduqodir has adapted very well to the team. He is very shy and doesn’t talk much. I think he will help us a lot in the future. He has built a very good relationship with the teammates. With young players like Abduqodir Husanov, Niko Gonzalez, and Vitor Reis, "City" will develop in the coming years.
Our 20-year-old defender managed to touch the ball 76 times during this game and made 68 passes. Of those, 63 reached his teammates accurately (93%). Additionally, the talented defender made 7 long passes during the game, 2 of which were accurate.
Abduqodir also succeeded in winning one of the 3 duels on the field. He recorded a 100% success rate (2/2) in aerial duels. Husanov committed 2 fouls during the game. His actions were rated 7.0 by the "Sofascore" portal.
As a note, the "city" team led by Guardiola will play their next match against Spain's "Real Madrid" on February 19.
