Manchester City Set Sights on Historic Fourth Straight Title
Phil Foden has set his sights on achieving a historic feat for Manchester City: winning the Premier League four years in a row. This ambitious goal comes after Pep Guardiola’s team fell short of their dream of a consecutive treble following a Champions League penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid.
City Determined to Make History
In an exclusive interview with Mail Sport, Foden emphasized the team’s focus on etching their names in Premier League history.
He revealed a motivational message displayed at the City training ground: “”Nobody has won four Premier Leagues in a row…yet””. Phil Foden is determined to change that, stating, “We want to put ourselves in history. Every day I sit and look at that slogan and I think: ‘Why not?'”
Phil Foden: A City Academy Success Story
Foden, a product of the City academy system since the age of six, has become a symbol of Pep Guardiola’s philosophy. He acknowledges the pressure that comes with his success story, especially considering his rise from ball boy to star player.
“I had to become an adult at a very young age,” Foden said. “There were people saying a lot of different things: ‘He’s not playing enough. He should go on loan.'” However, he understood the situation at the time, acknowledging the presence of established stars like Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Phil Foden now aspires to be a role model for young players coming through the City academy and his local community. He encourages them to maintain their passion for the sport, believing that love for the game conquers the fear of hard work. His message is clear: “If Phil did it, then why can’t I do it?”
Looking Ahead: Euros and Fierce Competition
Foden will be part of Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming European Championships in Germany. He’ll be joined by another highly-rated youngster, Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid. Foden expressed his admiration for Bellingham’s maturity and talent, highlighting his importance to the England squad.
