Phil Foden, a versatile attacker, has asked Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola to play him more often in midfield. Because they believe that they are ready, both in football terms of quality and experience.

Foden was initially molded by Guardiola to succeed the creative midfielder of former player David Silva. But the Englishman’s bones on the field were not yet mature. Most of the roles therefore had to be played on the right wing or false 9.   UFABET 

Until the game at Etihad Stadium defeating Aston Villa 4-1 yesterday. Foden got the opportunity to play number 8 in a 3-2-2-3 system because Kevin De Bruyne was suspended and appeared. That the British footballer scored a hat-trick. While the playing dimension is outstanding, offensive-defensive. Much more skilled than when he first stood as a midfielder. Making the 23-year-old brave enough to plead through the media to request more ties to the midfielder. 

Opening mouths with ‘Football on TNT Sports’

“I accept my football a lot now. Play with a smile on your face and try to help the team.”

“I know my ability to score goals. Show it to everyone last night. It was such a joy.” 

“The pre-season goals were set in my mind and I wanted to do better than last season. Participate in more goals. I think it’s better than before. Things are going well.” 

“I see myself as having enough technique to play in the middle.” 

“Given the edge of the line, you can work as assigned. But I want to play in the middle. This year my game has grown.” 

“The manager of the team told him to set the pace of attack and slow down the opponent’s game. So I have developed that passion for my own playing.” 

“In the past, I was a quick-witted type, always attacking in one move. But now we are trying to find the right balance.” 

“I always try to get a chance to score a goal in the penalty area. But after at least 5 seasons, the professional level begins to slow down. Pay attention to every dimension of playing the midfield position. But as you learn, there are many areas that need to be developed. And I gradually grew into playing in midfield.” 

Foden has played as an inside midfielder in 12 of 44 matches in all competitions this season. And was able to participate in up to 14 goals ( 10 goals , 4 assists ) , better than when playing as a regular right forward ( 11 goals ) or left forward ( 5 goals ) .
