The sports advisor to the president of "Pakhtakor," Maksim Shatskix, shared his thoughts on Uzbek defender Abduqodir Husanov, who plays for England's "Manchester City," in an interview with sports24.kz.
- Maksim Aleksandrovich, what do you say about Husanov? Guardiola did not put the Uzbek defender on the field in the "Manchester derby" and against "Crystal Palace." Do you think Abduqodir can play in the starting lineup of the "Citizens"?
- His not playing means nothing. Abduqodir will play in the starting lineup. I have said before that Husanov is the future of "Manchester City," I am saying it now, and I will continue to say it. He will definitely play! Excuse me, the guy is only 21 years old. He has already shown reliable performances in the "Manchester City" squad. Right now, there is a restructuring process going on in the English club, and I think it will continue.
It is no secret that everyone can see that the current "Manchester City" is not at its previous level. Therefore, there will be a restructuring in the team. Husanov has been invited to this very process. Abduqodir is a player with very high skills. At the same time, he is a good person. He has the necessary intellect and physical strength for a footballer. He possesses all the qualities to play in a superclub in European fields. His previous not playing and then being put into the game is just normal rotation. This is a normal situation in football.
- No matter what, he is gaining experience in an APL grand!
- Husanov has joined "Manchester City," and now he will not leave there. His career will be good from now on. Everything depends on him. Abduqodir is very mentally stable. Some defenders or goalkeepers may lose themselves after mistakes. But this does not apply to Husanov! He is completely calm in this regard and does not get carried away by incomprehensible feelings. Husanov's qualities in this regard are very good.
- Can Husanov be compared to legendary defenders? For example, Puyol or Pique?
- He is not like Puyol. He is a somewhat different player emotionally. Husanov is cultured, polite, and speaks little. Perhaps, as time goes by and he gets older, this will develop in him. Abduqodir hardly speaks; he quietly does his job.
- Maybe he is like Pepe? A fighter!
- Maybe. But when Pepe got older, his speed and physical condition became insufficient, and he started to compensate for that in somewhat different ways. Let's let Husanov be like Husanov!
