Who’s Abdukodir Khusanov?
Uzbekistan is infrequently mentioned in exchanges about football. World- class football gift is n’t generally set up in the Central Asian country, which is now ranked 58th in the world. But one 20- time-old is proudly preparing to represent Uzbekistan at the loftiest situations of professional football.
Abdukodir Khusanov is an Uzbek professional football player who plays centre- reverse for both the Uzbekistan public platoon and Lens( a platoon in Ligue 1). Until the age of 18, Khusanov was a member of the youth platoon of the Uzbek club Bunyodkor.
A time latterly, he was bought by Lens, one of the stylish clubs in France, as they were impressed with his performances.
Khusanov further established himself at Lens and surfaced as one of the platoon’s uncredited protectors. Now, he’s being courted by Premier League top platoon Manchester City, who are close to subscribing him.
Abdukodir Khusanov’s playing style
Khusanov, 20, has been forced to play out wide but lacks creativity. With protective criteria in the 94th percentile in Ligue 1 this season, he’s a protector’s protector who easily prefers to stop strikers from scoring.
He’s also a physical illustration of a strong centre- reverse, at 6ft 1in altitudinous, he’s strong, athletic and quick. Khusanov’s blistering pace would give a fully different look to City’s aft line.
He makes full use of his physical attributes, getting important in the air and indeed more important during ground combat.
He’s compared to Ruben Dias because of his grim burning style and fondness for diving strikers. He’s inversely comfortable diving or obliging opponents as well as in one- on- one situations.
It’s intriguing to note that Khusanov is n’t an average Guardiola centre- reverse due to his poor ball- running chops.
Indeed though he plays in the heart of a back three, he has smaller traces, passes and forward carries than his centre- reverse mates Kevin Danso and Facundo Medina. He has the implicit to ameliorate his fleeting range. This will be especially essential when playing in Guardiola’s platoon that controls the ball.
