10635Ahead of "Manchester City"’s Champions League match against Club "Brugge" on January 29, Croatian defender Josko Guardiola spoke about his Uzbek teammate, Abdukodir Khusanov, at a press conference.
"Abdukodir seems like a good guy. He didn’t play badly in the last match. It’s not easy to make your debut in the Premier League against "Chelsea". He’s still young, and we’re ready to help him in any way. Abdukodir can rely on me or other experienced players—we’ll always support him," Guardiola stated.
It’s worth noting that in the 23rd round of the Premier League, the 20-year-old Khusanov made his debut against "Chelsea" in the starting lineup, though he was substituted in the 52nd minute. While he was initially criticized by fans for some early mistakes, Khusanov later impressed with his solid defensive actions in several key moments.
Earlier, "Manchester City" defender Manuel Akanji also revealed that he had offered words of encouragement to Khusanov during the match against Chelsea.
