Gvardiola is putting his bets on the Uzbek defender
Sport
Gvardiola is ready for a large-scale restructuring of Manchester City and plans to rejuvenate the squad. Among those he is particularly focusing on is the 20-year-old Uzbek defender Abduqodir Husanov. The coach has already openly stated that he sees great potential in him.
After a string of setbacks in the season, Gvardiola decided to part ways with a number of experienced players, including Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grilish, Ederson, and John Stones. Kyle Walker has already left the club on loan to AC Milan. Having freed up space, the coach intends to rejuvenate the squad by attracting new players. Husanov has been at the center of these changes, whom Gvardiola sees as one of the key defenders for City's future.
The recent match against Liverpool confirmed that the Uzbek defender is living up to the coach's expectations. Despite the 0:2 defeat, Husanov played the entire 90 minutes, becoming the top scorer in touch (102) and record-breaking passing accuracy (99%). Gvardiola noted his discipline, speed, and ability to hold a shot against strong opponents.
"He is incredibly talented. In the match against Real Madrid, he confidently faced Vinicius, and today he showed stability again," Gvardiola said.
To strengthen the renewed squad, the club is also considering signing young stars - Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz and Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso. However, Husanov is already getting the most opportunity to prove himself and establish himself in the starting lineup.
If the young Uzbek keeps moving forward, he could become one of the main discoveries of the EPL and a key player for the renewed City.
