One of the most intense matches of the 26th round of the English Premier League was the game between “Manchester City” and “Liverpool.” The reigning champion, managed by Josep Guardiola, tried to gain an advantage over the opponent, but Arne Slot's team celebrated a 2:0 victory.
Husanov's skilled play – solved a serious problem
Although “City” had possession of the ball, they could not find a player to score. New team members Abduqodir Husanov and Niko Gonsales were the most active and effective participants in the game.
Husanov's defensive performance was truly commendable:
✅ He thwarted two shots from Mohamed Salah.
✅ He repelled attacks from Luis Dias and Dominik Szoboszlai.
✅ He demonstrated miraculous speed and resilience under pressure in defense.
The score did not widen thanks to Husanov's impeccable defensive actions.
Guardiola: “Abduqodir performed very well”
In a press conference, Josep Guardiola assessed this match and his team's performance:
“We played very well against “Liverpool.” We lacked precision in the final shots. Abduqodir performed very well. His play against Vinicius Junior in Madrid was just as reliable today. He still needs to develop, but he has extraordinary abilities,” said Guardiola.
The specialist praised not only Husanov but also Niko Gonsales and Umar Marmush for their performances.
“City”'s transfer policy and plans
“Manchester City” spent over 200 million euros during the January transfer window, adding four new players. Among them, Abduqodir Husanov and Niko Gonsales are regularly playing in the starting lineup.
The 18-year-old Brazilian Vitor Reis is still in the process of adapting to European football. The City management intends to strengthen the team during the summer transfer window as well.
Abduqodir Husanov's rapid development and high-level defensive play in “Manchester City” are opening doors to great opportunities for him. If he continues in this spirit, he is sure to become one of the key defenders for “City” in the future.
