Man City Teammates Wonder, “Where’s Foden’s Footy Magic?”…
Rumor has it that Manchester City players are scratching their heads, wondering where Phil Foden’s footballing magic has vanished to. The previously unstoppable Foden has managed to not dribble his way to the back of the net or serve up a fancy assist in over two months! City insiders are now playing detective, searching for Foden’s lost form.
In stark contrast to last season’s hot-streak, Foden seems to be struggling with a mysterious weight loss and a baffling inability to clock 90 minutes on the pitch. Gossip on the grapevine suggests that he’s moved his family out of Manchester – perhaps in search of his once brilliant form? And, of course, he’s also learning that being pushed out wide by England (just to make room for Jude Bellingham) isn’t as breezy as it sounds.
With Pep Guardiola still giving him the nod (albeit a wary one), Foden’s spot is as secure as a hammock in a hurricane. England’s new head honcho, Thomas Tuchel, sweetly assures us of their “love and commitment” to Foden, like a parent convincing a child that broccoli is delicious. Meanwhile, we’re all glued to Phil’s journey, hoping his footie magic makes a comeback soon!
