Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBBall-Playing

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (2.1 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (92% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (67% duel success), heavily involved in possession (65 passes/90), central to possession (79 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (5.0/90) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.0/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up. The three most similar players to Abdukodir Khusanov by playing style are:

  • Jaka Bijol(87% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (7.0 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (85% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (56% duel success), strong in aerial duels (3.2 aerials won/90) and uses long balls frequently (6.3/90).
  • Jorrel Hato(87% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an aggressive ball-winner (3.1 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (92% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (57% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (1.9 successful tackles/90), central to possession (79 touches/90), active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
  • Malick Thiaw(86% match)Thiaw has quietly become one of the Premier League's most complete defensive profiles — a towering centre-back who doesn't just win his battles, he wins them cleanly. His aerial win rate of 65.1% and duel success of 64.2% both sit in the league's top 20%, but the counterintuitive story is his attacking output: 0.16 goals per 90 and 0.98 shots per 90 place him in the top 10% among defenders, suggesting a genuine threat from set-pieces that opponents routinely underestimate. His pass accuracy of 90.6% reflects a ball-player comfortable in possession-heavy systems, and his above-average delivery into the final third adds genuine build-up value.
