Pep Guardiola continues to dream with his men in the Premier League. After the valuable victory gained against Liverpool last weekend (1-2), Manchester City continued to pocket important points against Fulham yesterday at home, with a great success (3-0). The coach of the team, currently second in the championship, notably mentioned one of the men at the end of the match, in a press conference: Abdukodir Khusanov (21 years old). The Uzbek, who arrived at City with the aim of strengthening the central defense in 2024, is becoming a solid bulwark and his Spanish coach has noticed this for some time. “I saw Khusanov play a few minutes at right-back. This was Kyle Walker’s style at his peak. I know Khusanov is capable of it”.
Echoes which will certainly delight the young defender who took part in 21 matches including 4 in the Champions League this season. Under the blue tunic, he was able to secure a starting place in important matches (against Manchester United in particular) and seemed to make a good impression on Guardiola, who therefore did not hesitate to compare him to the former emblematic City player in front of the media.
