Foden Must Rediscover His Love For Football – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that Phil Foden must rediscover his love of football. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he expects the England international to become the explosive player he once was as soon as he rediscovers his love for the game.

Pep added that even if City finish second in the league, the experience of being challengers will benefit the squad next season.

His words, “Just recover that spirit, the pleasure to be a football player.

Not because I have a contract. Not because I have duties to do. Not because I have to win that game. Forget about all of that.

It’s just a joy to play football like you were a little boy and we’re in the streets or in the school or in the academy in Man City. It’s just getting back to that feeling. And when that happens, he’ll explode again and he’ll be back.”

On finishing 2nd in the EPL, “It’s the first time that Marc [Guehi], Khusa [Abdukodir Khusanov], Gigi [Donnarumma] — not the first time but the first time here — Antoine [Semenyo].

It’s the first time we’re in a title race. You know, the feeling. The feeling that ‘oh, I cannot lose that game’. And sometimes you need, maybe, time to live that. But it’s what I said. So, still, we are here.

The season has been more than good so far. So, let’s win the next game. And after, we’ll see what happens and we’ll see in the future.”

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.

Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.

Under Guardiola’s predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4–3–3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.

Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
