'He's the best player in the Premier League' | Pep Guardiola praises Foden after Manchester Derby

Well, tell us about the game from your point of view, it was a very, very good game for you, of course it was the same game, not winning or being good, but of course winning because we had judged by the result but by the performance from the minute one. until the end it was really good to go after a shot like that, it's just sport, there's not much you can do about it, we started very well the first seven eight minutes and after the first long ball we knew that sometimes we couldn't play with the moments behind we were not correct on the line and after what I said, when Rashford scored this goal or felt he scored the first goal, it was just a matter of application, so no more than that, but how we played the whole game, how we were In the first half a little more anxious in the last third we want to shoot faster when I always have to have half a second to be more composed and calmer, but I understand the space, but yes, everyone was there, it was really good. game and now focus on Copenhagen.

You know your

player

s and they never seem to panic or change their approach. Do you always feel like it's not a given, but you always feel like it will come if we keep doing what we're doing? Yeah because if you don't do it otherwise they will kill you in the transition so it's a team formation for the transition with Rashford with uh garnacho with all the people there run run so that's why you have to be a gift "Don't lose sight of the fact that the point is to score a goal and everything will happen in the right direction, but if we attack not in a good position, they can make a good transition and scoring a second goal will be even more difficult," headlines the headline. maker this day it's always someone different every day but this time it's Phil Foden, what more can you say about his development as a

player

, not only season after season but it seems almost week after week something better and extra comes to his game ?

Well, it's a number of games played and he was always a talented player, now he's more mature and understands the game more, especially defensively, and you know, he plays in the middle, you know, C can make a C moment inside after the final, plays on the left, always scores. playing on the left so I have an incredible sense of goal near the box, it's a good mentality and, um, yeah, what can I say? He is the

best

player at the moment in the Premier League, because of the amount of things he does, it is incredible. a moment towards the end when he ran to the left and made a tackle just outside his own penalty area, does that give you as much pleasure as the other things?

Well, when he scores two goals, it gives me more pleasure. Be honest, but yeah, of course, but it's our, you know, we don't negotiate that the guy who doesn't do that doesn't let him stay on this team, so you have this physicality because he's a I think he loves it. he plays football he leads the football he waits for training sessions and plays matches so it's a pleasure and of course his job I think is amazing tell me about the pressure have you been here before Liverpool It was first this weekend and it will become clearer.

Again, what does it do to the players? What does he do to you when necessary? They know they have to come back in the next game. It's about us. We can't control what, uh, Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa or the other contenders do, so it's about us. What do you have to do to win today, next Wednesday and next Sunday? What do we have to do? The rest. This team is legendary. Still, what they have done, we are still here and acting like today. We act and make our people happy. The world tells the way we play it, so we'll do it.

I don't know, but at this stage, what we have done, we can do. I think I'm going to regret something about these players, just in case, that's how we have it today. I have more points than last season and at this stage the difference is a eh, Liverpool have I don't know how many more points than last season, so when the opponent behaves like Arsenal, what can I say, congratulations so far , but what's important is still? I want to be there let's try game by game what we can do thank you P, thank you very much, did you like that there is much more?
