‘The first touches are something else’ – Many fans in awe as Grealish and Foden show off their incredible skills

Manchester City duo Jack Grealish and Phil Foden have caught the eye of Gary Lineker from inside England‘s World Cup camp.

The pair were filmed kicking a ball around in Qatar, although that is probably doing them a disservice.

In a video posted on England’s Twitter account, Foden and Grealish are seen practising their keepie-ups, before passing the ball to each other across a sports hall.

The midfielders make each pass, juggle and control look effortless.

Towards the end of an amazing rally between the two, Grealish then attempted to catch the ball in between his knees.

The 27-year-old was successful in doing so, but he was unable to resume their back and forth, with Foden jokingly crying out: ‘What’s he doing?”

Two of England’s other scorers against Iran, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, could also be seen in the video as some of Southgate’s stars opted to practice with a football, with others having a go at basketball.

So good from @JackGrealish and @PhilFoden 👌

Just watch until the end, though! 😅 pic.twitter.com/CDkKB4k08K

The footage, shared by England’s Twitter account, quickly caught the eye of fans and left them in awe.

“The level of skill on display is absolutely ridiculous. The first touches are something else,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

Someone else tweeted: “Grealish turned into prime Ronaldinho for 2.1 seconds.”

“Levels ain’t there, [these] boys are at the top level. Good luck,” another fan said.

And a fourth Twitter user posted: “Most talented [England] players they’ve produced for ages.”

While another added: “If you don’t play football, you’ll never understand how hard this is to do.”
