What happened to Abduqodir Husanov? Why is Guardiola not playing the Uzbek footballer?
The talented Uzbek footballer Abduqodir Husanov's fate at Manchester City has raised various questions and speculations among football fans over the past month. The player, who had an impressive start under the leadership of Josep Guardiola, has not appeared in the starting lineup at all since March. This situation has raised questions not only among Uzbek fans but also among millions of "City" supporters worldwide.
Husanov last participated in the FA Cup quarter-final match against Bournemouth on March 30. Our compatriot, who gave up his place to teammate Niko O'Riley in the second half of that match, has completely lost his spot in the starting lineup since then.
Regarding this situation, Josep Guardiola commented that the internal competition is strong and noted that Niko O'Riley is currently performing effectively on the left flank. He also emphasized that the flawless performances of Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, who has moved to the center of defense, have contributed to this decision.
Experts and analysts have shared their views on the reasons for Abduqodir Husanov's lack of playing time.
In particular, Darren Luni, an expert from the website "ManchesterCity.news," published the opinions of several experts and sources regarding this situation.
Dion Dublin:
"Abduqodir Husanov's life at Manchester City is certainly not easy. He is putting all his effort into adapting to a new environment and a new league. Currently, he has established a good relationship with his Brazilian teammate Vitor Reis, and this friendship is accelerating his adjustment to the team. We hope that in the upcoming season, Husanov will showcase his true talent and make the fans happy."
Daily Mail:
"The reason for Husanov not playing is attributed to the lack of training in recent months at Lens. This is related to the winter break in the French league and Husanov's absence from team training during the transfer window. Additionally, Niko O'Riley is performing excellently on the left flank, and Guardiola has opted for a tactic that emphasizes results with four defenders, which has led to Husanov being left out of the starting lineup. Now he has the task of proving himself once again for the next season."
Roy Keane:
"Such difficulties often occur in players' careers. Abduqodir Husanov is a talented and promising player. I believe that after this challenging phase, his career will get back on track."
Experts emphasize that Guardiola is primarily focused on results during the decisive phase of the season and therefore is not making changes to the starting lineup. This provides Husanov with a favorable opportunity to build his confidence, improve his English, and better understand the coach's requirements.
The management of Manchester City considers Husanov to be a unique talent and expresses confidence in his future with the team. The positive change in the current situation is only a matter of time.
The editorial team of Zamin.uz also wishes our compatriot Abduqodir Husanov to overcome these difficulties and showcase his best performances once again.
