After the return match of the Champions League against Borussia, the Manchester City players had a legitimate reason to celebrate reaching the next stage. The team for the first time Guardiola flew into the semifinals, making the sheikhs’ dream of winning the tournament a little closer to fulfillment. True, the same rich PSG with Arab money is waiting for them further. But all this is a matter of the future (the first match will take place on April 28).

In the game against Borussia, the 20-year-old scored a goal Phil Foden – a graduate of Manchester City, who this season has been entrenched in the starting lineup of the Citizens. And thanks to the goal scored, the player established several achievements at once: he became only the second footballer to score in two Champions League quarterfinals at the age of 21, and also the first Englishman to score 6 goals in the tournament at this age.

After the match, a post appeared on Foden’s Twitter account where he addressed another star – the PSG striker Kylian Mbappe… “Are you ready?” Foden asked, noting the Frenchman.

What’s the big deal?

The problem is that Foden has not agreed on the release of this tweet. A marketing agency is in charge of his social media and has decided to take charge. The Daily Mail wrote that Foden was furious with such a provocative post, which immediately garnered thousands of likes and retweets. And he asked to remove it. The player will probably no longer work with this agency.

Guardiola has another tough footballer. Why does the coach consider him more talented than Messi?

The boy who served the balls has become a key player for Manchester City.

Interestingly, this is not the first such incident with a City player. In 2019 Raheem Sterling ended his relationship with PR company Purple PR after leaked information that Raheem was supposed to wear the England captain’s armband for his 50th match.

This season, Pep’s love for Foden has finally transformed into playtime. Phil often comes out as a left midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation, although his position is conditional. Its strong point is in controlling the speed of the attack. He often gets the ball with his back to the opponents’ goal, thanks to his puny physique, he eludes defensive players and directs the attack of Manchester City in the right direction.

This quality is incredibly valuable for Guardiola: after all, he has enough cool soldiers, but few artists. Two years ago he said the following about Phil: “I mentioned it in the press, but I never spoke to Phil’s face – he is the most talented of those with whom I worked. This guy has everything to become one of the best in the world. “

Too powerful assessment from a coach who has worked with a bunch of world stars. But from that moment on, Pep treats Foden with special warmth: protects him from management (the English media believe that the midfielder is the only player on whose transfer Guardiola imposed a 100% ban) and actively promotes him to the team (Foden is difficult, since there are almost no peers).

At the same time Eurosport claims that Manchester City is already working on a new contract for Foden, the current agreement will expire in 2024. Thus, the club wants to reward the player who helped the team to reach the Champions League semi-finals. And if Guardiola’s team wins the tournament, Phil will definitely go down in history. And no one will remember the provocative tweet.
