Pep Guardiola This season he has to face an unusual situation in his sports career. Combining multiple losing streaks and several games without winning all competitions. The decrease of Rodri This is decisive for this bad dynamic, but it is not the only explanation.
The Santpedor coach has had many years Phil Foden as his ‘little right eye’ because of his left leg talent. In his early years he said about him that he had never seen anyone like him training, except for Messi. The 24-year-old English playmaker had limited success last season. He can do everything his playful mind can think of. In the Premier, 19 goals and 8 assists in 35 games and was elected the best player of the competition. To the champions, 5 goals and 3 assists in 8 games. Those figures, combined with his inside play, all the gains he can make and how undetectable he is for defenses, make him one of the best players in the world.
However, between the physical problems and the poor performance of the team, it has been difficult for him to start this season, especially in the Premier. His first goal in that competition did not come until the end of December against Aston Villa. Something that helped him ease his shoulders, just the day his team fell.
And since then everyone has gotten better collectively and individually. Phil needs the block and vice versa. In the last two games, 4 goals and 1 assist. In the last four, 5 goals and 2 assists. A level of football that comes just in time for the Champions League, when they face PSG this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in a fundamental match for the future of both in the competition.
