After Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Brighton, Kevin De Bruyne highlighted Phil Foden’s best position for the team. Both players excelled in the match, with Foden scoring two goals and De Bruyne opening the scoring with a header. De Bruyne mentioned that he sees Foden primarily playing centrally for City, where he thrives with his technical ability and freedom on the field.

Foden, who was named Man of the Match, demonstrated his skills and versatility by playing in the middle but occasionally moving out wide. De Bruyne praised Foden’s performance and noted that the 23-year-old has been consistent in his role for years, contributing to the team’s success. De Bruyne believes that Foden’s strength lies in playing as a number 10, a position where he can showcase his talent effectively.

Despite Foden’s success with Manchester City, there is a hope that the England national team will utilize him in his best position. Gareth Southgate, the England manager, has yet to deploy Foden as a number 10, but if he can find the right balance in the team, Foden’s impact could be significant. De Bruyne’s endorsement of Foden’s central role suggests that his abilities are best suited for that position, and it remains to be seen how the young talent will continue to develop and excel in the future.
