England I waited a long time Phil Foden in this Euro Cup, but so far it hasn’t been like that. It seems the City man’s mind is elsewhere, and perhaps that’s because he went to Manchester this week to see the birth of his third child, returning with his batteries charged.
Totally focused on football and European Cupthat is why Foden bring out the best version of you that you need to be free in the field. More than what has happened so far. Although in small doses, he showed that playing on the left does not suit him and he did damage by taking inside areas, something he does more often, supported by a Southgate which requires the Premier’s MVP.
The English coach just didn’t take the step of daring to move the formation to that Foden He can play where he is most comfortable, and this is why Guardiola’s pupil has to fly freely on the pitch. He is not as strict with the English coach as the Spanish coach in terms of positions and, although Phil is not skilled, he has to follow his intuition to help the team, which is going through a lot of difficulties with the ball.
It is worth saying that this does not help him much trippier as left back. Being right-footed, he is not encouraged to move up the wing and it is also more difficult for him to play outside, so Foden does not participate as much. Keeping an open mind and reading spaces is one of the keys to getting England to its best version.
