The Manchester City boss has called for calm in the No.10 role and Foden answered that with a brilliant performance on Saturday.
Phil Foden alleviated any early concerns regarding his development with an electric performance in Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle.
Foden is a man whose career trajectory has risen at a thousand miles-per-hour so it is no surprise he plays at a similar speed. Upon breaking into the first-team picture, the boyhood Blue was a young prospect who fearlessly ran at full-backs with every opportunity.Part of Foden's early intrigue was his ability to run at 100% from the first whistle until the last, but Guardiola needed a more controlled approach from his central creator.
“He has an incredible energy to do everything. This is normal. It doesn’t mean he is going to change now. That comes with time and seasons. The game by game. He will realise what he has to improve in that position. The rest of him is a top player." That is the part of Foden's game that Guardiola has been looking for as a No.10, the ability to slow down a frantic game and make the right choice. On Saturday, he consistently picked the right pass and had the composure to execute it.
Foden's message to Guardiola couldn't have been clearer, he answered the City manager's major concern and in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, has made the No.10 position his own.
