The British football community continues to discuss the winter transfers of England's reigning champion – "Manchester City".
In particular, the club's official website – mancity.com shared the analysis results of famous experts Sem Ellardays and Endi Morrison on how Abduqodir Husanov, Umar Marmush, and Niko Gonsales influenced the team's performance and results in the victorious match against "Newcastle" through the "Matchday Live" project distributed.
Sem Ellardays on Umar Marmush:
- I don't think anyone has witnessed a player coming in January and immediately making such an impact in a single match.
During my coaching period, most players who joined my team struggled to adapt to the Premier League's pace and physical demands, but they would need at least until the next season to showcase their qualities to the head coach.
Therefore, to accomplish these tasks quickly, to show great talent immediately, and to overcome any difficulties is a significant achievement. Umar Marmush established a strong connection with Erling Haaland as soon as he joined the team.
The three goals scored in 33 minutes against "Newcastle" will also be very beneficial for this young man's future.
Endi Morrison on Abduqodir Husanov:
- Abduqodir Husanov surprised everyone by completely controlling the movements of the opposing striker Alexander Isak, who played alongside Jon Stones in the defense center and was in top athletic form during the match against "Newcastle".
The rival football players could not escape from him.
Along with Sem Ellardays, we were astonished to see the Uzbek footballer return at high speed from 40 yards and catch up with Isak, not allowing him to play.
Abduqodir played very confidently against a big team and one of the world's best strikers like Isak, showing that he is returning to his high level.
Husanov's performance in subsequent matches was a fantastic response to the unfortunate situations at the start of his debut game. In most cases, such debut players lose their confidence.
There was an "explosion" in Husanov's career, but he managed to overcome these difficulties. We are happy for Abduqodir.
Sem Ellardays on Niko Gonsales:
- Niko Gonsales took his place in the midfield and managed the entire defensive midfield at a high level. His contribution to the game, ability to read the game, and ball recovery were very bright and caught everyone's attention.
Believe me, not everyone can perform at a high level upon arriving in the Premier League.
It is worth noting that "Manchester City" spent over 200 million euros on four transfers during the winter transfer window. In particular, the "Citizens" transferred Abduqodir Husanov from "Lans" for 40 million, Niko Gonsales from "Porto" for 60 million, Umar Marmush from "Eintracht" for 75 million, and Vitor Reis from "Palmeiras" for 37 million euros.
