One of the heroes of the match between “Tottenham” and “Manchester City” in the English Premier League was Abduqodir Husanov. Our legionnaire did not allow the opposing attackers to score during the match and made a significant contribution to the “City”'s 1:0 victory. After the game, the attention of many was drawn to the situation where “Tottenham” players, especially team captain Son Heung-min, came to congratulate Abduqodir and expressed good thoughts about him. An expert from one of the reputable sources – manchestercity.news, Shrinivas Sadxanand, clarified why the Korean player did this. - Pep Guardiola highly praised Husanov's performance against “Tottenham”. Because the Uzbek player played at a high level throughout the match, became a key player in “City”'s defense line, intercepted opposing attacks, and did not allow the hosts to threaten the goal. Especially, Husanov's ability to run across the wide field at high speed and give his all left a good impression on everyone. If it weren't for the Uzbek defender, “Tottenham” would have definitely scored one or two goals. Because they posed a significant threat to “Manchester City” through their attacks. In addition to skillfully controlling the ball, Husanov launched attacks by accurately passing the ball to Jeremie Doku and Savin from a distance. In short, Husanov became the brightest player on the field wearing the “City” jersey yesterday. “Manchester City” can be pleased that the players acquired in January have quickly adapted. Among Vitor Reis, Niko Gonzales, and Umar Marmush, Abduqodir Husanov is proving to be the best choice. After the competition, “Tottenham” captain Son Heung-min came to Husanov, raised his thumb high, and congratulated him on his great game. Son is considered one of the strongest attackers in the English Premier League. Although he exerted considerable effort to get past the new defender of “City”, he could not succeed, ultimately acknowledging Husanov's skill. Statistical indicators also show that Abduqodir outperformed Son in the competition between attackers and defenders. Typically, the Korean star has regularly posed a threat to the “Manchester City” goal. In this match, he also came close to equalizing the score. In the league, Son Heung-min's ability to score and assist has always been highly regarded. However, this time Husanov did not miss any opportunities in their confrontations. After that, Son Heung-min decided to express his wishes to the young defender of “Manchester City”, acknowledging his potential, and there is no doubt that his actions were well-received by “Manchester City” fans, - wrote Shrinivas Sadxanand. It should be noted that Abduqodir Husanov transferred from “Lans” to “Manchester City” on January 20. Since then, our legionnaire has played in five matches in the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League, scoring one goal in addition to fulfilling his defensive duties. Husanov is also demonstrating high-level play on English fields and is truly becoming one of the brightest discoveries of the Premier League today

There are many news and proposals in the world of football, but some can have a significant impact. Gerard Piqué, the legendary former defender of FC Barselona, is proposing a radical change to football. According to him, teams should not receive any points for a 0:0 draw to encourage attacking play. Piqué: "Fans should not see a 0:0 scoreline" Piqué, who has his own views on the attractiveness of football, recently suggested introducing new rules to motivate teams during a podcast conversation with Iker Casillas. — A fan who spends 100, 200, or 300 euros to come to the stadium should not see a 0:0 scoreline. Something needs to change. For example, if the game ends in a 0:0 draw, teams should not receive any points. Imagine how the game would change after the 70th minute! — said Piqué. This idea could undoubtedly help promote attacking football. Teams would strive to score, abandon defensive play, and make the game more exciting. The idea of eliminating draws Currently, draws grant teams one point, leading them to adopt a safe strategy. However, Piqué believes that instead, football should have decisive outcomes like basketball or tennis. About a year ago, he proposed completely eliminating draw results. This idea sparked various debates among fans. Could Piqué's idea work? If such rules were implemented in major football competitions, the games could become even more interesting. Especially in the final rounds of the championship, teams might fully switch to attacking play, providing unforgettable moments for fans. At the same time, this proposal may not suit all teams. For example, weaker teams might miss the opportunity to secure at least one point by employing defensive tactics against stronger opponents. But one thing is clear: Piqué's idea will be hotly debated in the football world and could pave the way for new thoughts on making football more dynamic and attacking. Do you think points should be eliminated for a 0:0 draw? Would this make football more attractive?

In the next round of the Italian Serie A, the "Bologna" team defeated "Milan" 2-1 at home. The score was opened by the guest captain Rafael Leao in the 47th minute.

"Inter" had announced several times that they had plans to buy a new defender and rejuvenate the squad. However, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, one of the club's targets did not materialize. The reason is that "Manchester City" signed Abduqodir Husanov in January. The "Nerazzurri" were planning to buy the defender during the summer transfer window, but the "Citizens" acted faster than any other team, including "Real Madrid," to secure the player. They paid 40 million euros to "Lance" to persuade them to let Husanov go mid-season. "Inter" was monitoring Husanov as a replacement for Stefan De Vrij or Francesco Acerbi. The club is planning to bring in a new player to fill the position of one of the experienced defenders. Acerbi, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season, was being considered as the main candidate, but he has been performing at a high level in recent matches. For reference, Abduqodir Husanov has played six times since moving to England and scored one goal.

Let me remind you that in the second fight between Bivol and Beterbiev, Dmitriy secured victory by points and became the undisputed world champion.

Josep Guardiola took over 'Manchester City' in 2016, and since then, the club has begun to experience the most successful period in its history of over a century. Prior to this, the Spanish coach, who had achieved high results with 'Barselona' and 'Bayern Munich', also led the 'Citizens' to significant victories. One year after taking over the team, Guardiola led 'Manchester City' to the championship. Since then, except for one instance when 'Liverpool' won the English Premier League, Guardiola's disciples have not given the championship title to anyone. During this process, 'Manchester City' became the only team to be crowned English champions four times in a row. Josep Guardiola emphasized that no other team would be able to replicate this achievement during his tenure. In the 2024-2025 season, unexpected challenges fell upon Guardiola. The trusted squad struggled to perform in the first half of the championship. Both the club management and Guardiola himself regretted not focusing on new transfers during the summer... Finally, in the early months of 2025, the club began to rectify its mistakes. In just a few days, four major transfers were made. Abduqodir Husanov from 'Lans', Vitor Reis from 'Palmeiras', Umar Marmush from 'Eintracht', and Niko Gonsales from 'Porto' were brought in. Thus, a new era of changes and reforms began at 'City'. Three of these transfers have already proven themselves, with Abduqodir, Umar, and Niko becoming key pillars of the team. The club management decided to continue the policy of rejuvenating the squad by bringing in competitive, fast, and strong new players to replace experienced stars who have lost their fighting spirit and are aging. For this purpose, instructions were also given to find other teams for eight of the current squad's key figures. Club officials have started working on transfers by forming a list of other players who could fill their positions. Josep Guardiola also specifically addressed this issue after the match against 'Tottenham'. - If we secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League at the end of this season, it will be a monumental success. You will not see the previous 'Manchester City' anymore. That team was very strong. Now we return with a different squad. A young team is being formed, and the attacking trio is its future. Rodri will return, but Niko Gonsales and Abduqodir Husanov are the future of the new team. You saw how the Uzbek player performed against 'Tottenham' today. Young Gvardiol is still considered young. Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, and other experienced players are also important for us. However, the current young players and the new players to be brought in during the summer should lead 'Manchester City' forward in the near future. The rest will be a matter of time, - said Josep Guardiola. Additionally, the 54-year-old specialist highly praised the potential of the new team member Abduqodir Husanov. - Husanov is an extremely fast defender and also skilled at passing. I have seen many very fast footballers, and Abduqodir is one of them. Everyone has taken a liking to him. A humble guy. I am sure our fans will also like him. He has been playing really well in the last few matches, - said the Spanish specialist. Abduqodir Husanov, who joined 'Manchester City' on January 20, has already celebrated his debut in three prestigious competitions – the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League. So far, he has participated in a total of five matches, four of which he started in the starting lineup. He came on as a substitute in the FA Cup and scored his first goal in that match.

Recently, rumors about Lionel Messi's return to "Barselona" have started to spread again. However, renowned journalist Gilem Balage provided a clear answer, emphasizing that there is no possibility of Messi returning to Catalonia. ? "Messi will not return to Barselona. There is no chance of that. As long as club president Joan Laporta remains in his position, Messi will not come to Catalonia. "Inter Miami" will do everything possible to keep Leo in the team," Balage wrote. Why doesn't Messi want to return to Barselona? The Argentine star left "Barselona" in 2021, and this process was very painful. Messi cited the actions of Laporta's administration as the reason for leaving the club, and it is known that he is still hurt by it. ? After Messi left Barselona ? 2021-2023 – spent two seasons with "PSG". ? 2023 – joined "Inter Miami" and won his first major trophy with the club — the Leagues Cup. What plans does the "Inter Miami" management have? Currently, 37-year-old Messi's contract with "Inter Miami" is valid until the end of 2025. However, the club management is planning to sign a new deal with him and keep him in the team. ? Messi is being offered significant financial opportunities to stay in Miami. ? He is being given the chance to be an important figure in further developing soccer in the USA. ? The club is ready to offer the Argentine star a long-term contract. In conclusion, the rumors about Messi's return to "Barselona" have no basis. The likelihood of him staying at "Inter Miami" is high, and the club is making significant efforts in this regard. Returning to Catalonia is currently not a realistic option. "Barselona" fans continue to dream of the Argentine legend's return, but it seems Messi has chosen a new path for himself...?

The 26th round of the Italian Serie A took place. The following results were recorded in the matches of this round. Shomurodov helps "Roma" defeat "Monsa" Right from the start, the "wolves" were close to scoring, as Pisilya sent a wayward shot after Shomurodov's pass. Ranieri's disciples continued to launch attacks and soon opened the scoring. After Shomurodov's assist, Salemakers placed the ball into the net with a curling shot from outside the penalty area. After that, the character of the game did not change; the "giallorossi" kept their opponent under pressure and, as expected, scored again. After Saul's pass, Shomurodov headed the ball into the net, marking "1+1" in the first half. It should be noted that Eldor was generally very active and justified the coach's trust remarkably. "Monsa," on the other hand, could not come up with anything in attack. However, at the end of the half, Svilar saved the team from going a goal down after Ganvulan's shot. Nothing changed after the break; Pisilya had a great opportunity, but Turati eliminated the danger from close range. Nevertheless, a goal occurred when Cristante found Anxelinoni with a brilliant pass inside the penalty area, and he delivered an excellent shot into the far corner. However, that was not all; after Dybala brought the ball into play from a corner, Cristante sent a precise header to establish the final score. "Roma" is getting closer to the European Cup zone thanks to their opponents' mistakes, while "Monsa" appears to be in a dire situation. Only a miracle can keep this team in the top division. "Inter" snatched the victory The start of the match was very dull, with both teams more focused on ball possession than creating dangerous situations. The only notable moment was Masini's long-range shot. "Inter" did not manage to get a clear shot on goal, with only Pavar making a good move from outside the penalty area, but the ball didn't even reach the goal. It was clear that something needed to change. After the break, Taremi replaced Correa, and the game became more interesting. After a pass from the Iranian, Pavar attempted a scissors kick, which Leali managed to save. Soon after, Barella delivered a brilliant shot that hit the post, and Taremi was just inches away from executing a scissors kick. "Inter" was increasingly opening up, but they could also concede a goal. After a free kick, Ekuban sent a fantastic shot, but Martinez timely cleared the ball out of play, eliminating the danger. However, "Inter" executed a brilliant set piece, with Lautaro heading the corner kick into the net, scoring his 10th goal in Serie A. In any case, the "Nerazzurri" secured a hard-fought victory and are now leading the table due to "Napoli's" misfortunes. "Torino" defeated "Milan" The start of the match left the "rossoneri" in despair. After the ball was thrown in, Menyan left the penalty area and, while trying to retrieve the ball, collided with Tshauga, allowing the ball to roll into the net. Gradually, "Milan" regained control of the game and began to create chances, with Ximenes delivering a very good shot. Soon after, the club earned a penalty for a handball by Ricci in the penalty area. Pulishich approached the ball, but he couldn't beat Milinkovich-Savich, as the Serbian goalkeeper saved 4 out of 5 penalties this season, the best record in the top 5 leagues. By the way, the "bulls" were not idle either, as Menyan easily dealt with Vlashich's shot. After the break, "Milan" continued their attack, with Reyders delivering excellent shots, and Milinkovich-Savich performing well again. He soon saved a dangerous shot from Feliks, but he had no chance against Reyders' powerful shot from inside the penalty area. It seemed that Conceicao's disciples were about to switch to attack, but instead, they countered their opponents' attacks. Sanabria executed a quick free kick and passed the ball to Gineytis, who sent an excellent shot into the far corner, leaving Menyan helpless. The "rossoneri" tried to apply pressure at the end of the game, but nothing came of it, and the crisis is becoming increasingly evident. "Komo" defeats "Napoli" In the 6th minute, a strange event occurred when Rrahmani, without looking, executed a pass to the empty goal of Meret, resulting in a foolish own goal. After that, "Napoli" naturally went on the attack, trying to create chances; in the 20th minute, the score could have been 1:1 due to the own goal, but the ball returned from Perrone's foot still flew over the goal. Nevertheless, the pressure from the "partenopei" paid off, as Raspadori went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and delivered an excellent shot. Soon after, Lukaku delivered a good header, but the ball went past the post. The visitors continued their attack, and after the break, Raspadori found Maktominay in the penalty area with a brilliant pass, but he shot over the goal. Anguissa had a good opportunity, as the Cameroonian player accurately targeted the goalkeeper after an excellent pass from Politano. The guests increasingly shifted to attack, resulting in them missing a counterattack. A pass from Diaogo was excellently delivered, he controlled the ball with one touch, and with a second delicate shot, he accurately directed the ball into the corner. Ultimately, Rrahmani could have redeemed himself and scored against the opponent's goal, but he lacked a bit of luck. "Napoli" continues to decline, while "Komo" deserves only applause. "Atalanta" defeats "Empoli" The Bergamasques started the game with a shot, as Zappakosta delivered a dangerous long-range shot in the 5th minute, which the goalkeeper saved. By the way, Karnesek had to get involved as well, saving the team after a powerful shot. However, the visitors increased their advantage, and it eventually turned into a goal. After a brilliant pass from Lukman, Zappakosta directed the ball into the net, but it deflected off Gyassi and went in as an own goal. Shortly after a corner kick, Posh delivered a shot next to the post. The pressure continued, as Jimsiti headed the ball far away from a cross, and Rettegi scored, placing the ball into the net. He himself provided an excellent pass to Lukman at the end of the half, and Lukman deceived the goalkeeper and, from a few centimeters away, shot the ball into the net in a mocking manner. Nothing changed after the break, as the Bergamasques continued to break through the Tuscan defense. De Ron provided Lukman with the ball as he entered the penalty area, and he delivered a powerful shot. Soon after, the forward was substituted, and Gasperini did not extend his hand to him. Apparently, the controversy did not cease after the talk about the penalty. Zappakosta, however, still registered his name in the protocol. At the end of the game, he passed through the wing and delivered an excellent shot from the edge of the penalty area, establishing the final score. Also: - "Juventus" is strong against "Cagliari". - "Verona" defeats "Fiorentina". - "Venice" and "Lazio" are drifting apart. Source: championat.asia

The team has climbed to 9th place in the Serie A standings, increasing their chances of qualifying for European competitions.

Experts have the following opinions about Eldor Shomurodov's adaptation and growth: “Shomurodov may not be setting records for goals and assists, but his impact on the team's game is significant. His inclusion in the starting lineup against “Milan”, “Napoli”, “Porto”, “Parma”, and “Monza” shows that his position in the team is growing,” writes expert Olga Novella from siamolaroma.it.
