Pep Guardiola is thrilled by this Manchester City star following his stunning form
Phil Foden has netted back-to-back goals for City in their encounters against Manchester United and Napoli. With the 25-year-old regaining his form, Guardiola is impressed and is all praise for the English star. The City manager said during a post-match press conference:
"You could not imagine how much I missed him. "
Following his performance in the last two games, Guardiola, who believes that the player is back to what he should be, stated:
"The last two games have been the Phil that we know. He brings a sense of danger close to the box and he could have scored again.”
The former FC Barcelona manager further said that he and the club are happy because they know Foden, who previously struggled with his form, is happy. The 54-year-old said in the post-match press conference:
“Life is fine so the rest is natural with his incredible talent. Some people are sensitive, and he is a guy who needs to feel embraced. With me, with the club. After that, he is the player that he is."
Following a strange down season, the Premier League star is looking back to his best now. With this, Guardiola is gearing up to restore his side to greatness and bring the best out of Foden. He said in the press conference:
“He had a sense of goal, a sense of where to turn, a sense of quality to keep the ball.”
Guardiola, admiring Foden’s form, added:
“He’s a guy who makes a pass and goes to the penalty spot like an animal, and scores. When he receives the ball he’s angry, because he and the ball are going to score.”
City, the 10-time Premier League champions, are set to face Arsenal, who are currently in their best form. The encounter is going to be an important one as both teams will try to power their sides into the title race and snatch three points from the potential contenders.
