Guardiola: "We all adore Khusanov."

After just six matches with City, Khusanov has already impressed Guardiola not only with his playing abilities but also with his character.

“Today he arrived for the game without a toothbrush, without any toiletries – he just came to play football,” Guardiola said at the post-match press conference.

“I like that he has already integrated incredibly well into the locker room. When you talk to him, he just laughs, laughs, laughs, but he is also a very reliable player,” the coach added.

“He is incredibly fast, his passes are simply fantastic – he knows how to cut through lines. There is still room for him to grow, but he is only 20 years old,” Pep Guardiola emphasized.

“I have seen many speedy players, but he is one of the fastest,” he stated.

“People adore him. He is quiet, doesn’t complain, very humble, and I am sure our fans will love him,” he said.

“After what happened in the fifth minute of the match against Chelsea, it was not easy to regain composure, but he stayed calm and handled it,” the Spanish coach noted.

“In the last matches, he has truly been very, very good,” Guardiola concluded.
