Guardiola: Phil Foden is a world-class player and plays very well

Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City, praised the talent of Phil Foden, stressing that the English international striker is now a world-class player, after he led his team to a difficult victory over Bournemouth in the English Premier League.
Foden scored his ninth goal in the league this season, giving his team a very difficult 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, and pushing defending champion City to be one point away from Liverpool, the league leaders.
Foden, 23 years old, scored 7 goals this season, and became one of City's leaders on the field.
Guardiola said in press statements, “Apart from goals - of course they are important - but do you know how Foden played, how he controlled the ball and accelerated his performance? “He has already become a top-class player, from a young boy now Phil has already become a world-class player.”
The City coach added, “Foden is good and can play in every position, especially in midfield, and he plays very well.”
Guardiola continued, “What can I say? The match schedule is very demanding and the expectations are very high. What they have done for many years with many matches and many things, you always think that they will fall and not continue to do so, they always surprise me.”
City did not lose in their last 11 league matches, and while Liverpool and Arsenal compete with them for the league title, Guardiola's team once again demonstrated the ability to achieve results at the important time of the end of the season.
The English team, Manchester City, continued to tighten the noose on leaders Liverpool, after defeating its counterpart, Bournemouth, with a score of 1-0, during the match that brought together the two teams, at the Vitality Stadium, in the matches of the 26th round of the English Premier League competitions for the 2023-2024 season.
The only goal came from the brilliant winger Phil Foden in the 24th minute of the match, allowing City to maintain the lead until the end, which gave them 3 valuable points.
With this result, Manchester City occupies second place in the English Premier League table with 59 points, only one point behind leaders Liverpool.
