Pep Guardiola has said even if he has worked with players like Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Robert Lewandowski in the past, he stills feels Manchester City youngster, Phil Foden is the most talented player he has seen.
Pep has coached at some top teams with great players but still thinks Foden is the player he has had the most pleasure managing.
His words, “I said many times in press conferences, but maybe not in front of him – he is the most talented player I have ever seen as a football player or manager.”
“He has everything to become one of the best players, not just in England.
“His only problem is that sometimes his manager doesn’t put him in the starting XI.
“Hopefully in the future he can improve. He deserves all the minutes but he knows what team he plays for and with his competitors it isn’t easy.
“But he is open-minded and he works incredibly hard in every training session. He knows I appreciate him. I’m here to help him as much as possible to become what he is and I am pretty sure both of us will get it.”
Foden himself said, “I am lucky to be part of it. It is a special team. The success comes from the depth of the squad.”
“Pep works us very hard in training and you can tell by what we do on the pitch he wants the best from us.”
“That will only help us play better.”
