“He will already be a legendary player because in a short age, the games played, the minutes, the goals scored, the titles won and he is from the home and that is why the connection with the fans is unbelievable”, the City tactician told Sky Sports after the clash.
Performance like Foden’s against Manchester United only reinforces the belief that he could have a truly special career. Guardiola’s prediction about Foden’s future greatness is based on his skill, potential, and winning mentality, all of which are essential qualities for a player to leave a lasting impact on the game.
In conclusion, Guardiola’s admiration for Foden’s abilities and potential, as well as the team’s success, suggest that the young midfielder could indeed go down as a legend in the world of football. Time will tell if Foden fulfills this prophecy and cements his place among the greats of the game.
