He Manchester City It has improved in recent games to the point of leaving its presence in the next Championsbut along the way Pep Guardiola One of his billionaire wishes of the last winter market has been left. We talk about Abdukodir Khusanovthe first of the five signings made by the English club in January to try to save the season. The whim of the Catalan coach came out expensive (40 million euros) and time has shown that it was a totally exaggerated price.
Khusanov has not given virtually no sports performance to City and has ended up being banished by Guardiola, who insisted the club’s dome to sign. Uzbeko is a 21 -year -old central who had only played 31 games in two different seasons with the Lens In the French League, experience that the winning team of the last four premier considered enough to bet on him to be a starter in the defense.
The City paid those 40 million and debuted with a rude mistake against the Chelsea In an encounter in England last January. Since then, Khusanov was subject to many criticism and also Guardiola and only played eight more games. In fact, he has not played any of the last five. A situation that has coincided with the improvement of the English team, which has won four of them in the Premier.
With Khusanov in the field, the City only won a game of the last three he played. Guardiola has fulminated him and the situation seems virtually irreversible. Everything indicates that he will not have prominence and less in this final stretch of the year in which the Skyblues The FA cup and his presence in the following European Cup.
Guardiola fulminates the central
And is that Khusanov has lost all the confidence of Guardiola, who has recovered his usual power partner composed of Ruben days and Gvardiol. The Uzbeko had many mistakes in the jump due to its lack of height to be defender and, without a doubt, is the most indicated in terms of the five -signs that the City undertook in winter.
Since March 15 there is no news from Khusanov, since it has not even jumped to the pitch from the bench. And it is that the City has conceded 15 goals in the nine games with the Uzbeko on the grass, a figure too bulky to sustain itself in the eleven of Guardiola, which sees one of its great bets frustrated, another one that the directive approved despite the financial waste.
