In the social media post, Foden hinted that the decision to dye his hair was inspired by the legendary Paul Gascoigne – who has had a similar haircut for most of his career.

Even the fact that the Manchester City player dyed his hair blonde was considered by the audience to be a search for luck for himself, when the legendary Paul Gascoigne also played for the England team at Euro 1996 and had a memorable goal against Scotland. When asked by reporters if the new look was a tribute to Gascoigne, Foden said, “I’ve had different hairstyles over the years so now I think I’ll try something new. I’m awake. Woke up this morning with a lot of comparisons between Paul Gascoigne and Eminem. But that’s my own thing.” The male player thinks that his teammates in the England team like this hair and this is a positive thing. “I remember watching Paul Gascoigne’s TV highlights. The whole nation knew how much he meant to the country and what he did. So it wouldn’t be too bad if I tried. Try to put a little picture of Paul Gascoigne on the field at Euro 2020 “, he added.

Bernardo Silva is playing the role of a “virtual number 9” in Man City. Starting as a “virtual number 9”, Bernardo Silva has created many difficulties for the defense system of Aston Villa thanks to the mobility and great creativity. It was he who launched both assists as set, one for Foden to start the upstream and one for Rodri to put Man City a 2-1 lead over Aston Villa. All of this was done when Bernardo Silva stretched, taking advantage of the space between the home team’s midfielders and full-backs. Not surprisingly, Silva was elected as the best player of the match, not the two faces named on the scoreboard on the Man City side. This is the second time in a row, Bernardo Silva was arranged by teacher Pep Guardiola to play “virtual number 9”. Last time it was in the match against Leeds in round 31. That day, Man City lost 1-2, but Bernardo Silva still left a good impression by assisting Ferran Torres to equalize 1-1 in the 76th minute. In the context of Sergio Aguero distracted by finding a new stop and Gabriel Jesus is still erratic as … normally, the fact that Bernardo Silva shines in the “virtual number 9” position is a very timely solution. Man City is in front of two great battles – with Tottenham in the 34th round of the Premier League, meeting PSG in the Champions League semi-finals. And this team really needs the shine of Bernardo Silva.

This is London-based company and works with many other famous players in England. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Andy Robertson (Liverpool) are other customers of this company.

Before that, as soon as Man City overcame Dortmund in the semifinals of the Champions League on April 15, Foden’s personal page appeared “provocative” with PSG striker: “Mbappe, are you ready?” (roughly translated: Mbappe ready yet). These two players will face off in the Champions League semi-finals.

This status line is controversial on social media. At this point, it no longer exists on Foden’s personal page.

In the 2020/21 season, Foden played impressively in the Man City shirt. He has scored 15 goals and 8 assists in all competitions for the Etihad home team.

In the confrontation with Dortmund in the quarterfinals of the Champions League second leg, Foden had an impressive long shot, fixing the score 2-1 for Man City. Coach Pep Guardiola and his teacher reached the semi-finals and confronted PSG.

The first leg will start at 2pm on April 29 (Hanoi time) on the Prince’s Park yard. The return leg took place a week later.

After five years since arriving at Etihad with a mission to elevate the team, Pep Guardiola finally succeeded in bringing Man City into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In the most important moments, Pep chose to think less, trust more and finally reap sweet results.

Pep’s change

Pep Guardiola is too famous for his different changes in the decisive battles in the Champions League and that brought Man City into the picture.

Last season, he put two creative midfielders Bernardo Silva, David Sila on the bench and used three players to recover the ball Fernandinho – Rodri – Ilkay Guendogan in the match against Lyon, causing Man City to suddenly play a lack of creativity. , from there it failed.

Last season, he believed to use Guendogan instead of Kevin De Bruyne in the first leg against Tottenham, making Man City unable to pressure enough to score, and lost 0-1.

This has been repeated in previous seasons as well as leading Bayern Munich, leading many to believe that Pep did not have enough stability and iron at the crucial moment to win the Champions League. The journalists who closely followed Pep believed he “thought too much” and always put himself in a difficult position.

This season, the story is no longer like that. Before Dortmund in the second leg, Pep’s Man City replaced only one person for 90 minutes, although there was no shortage of famous stars on the bench. “The Citizens” is loyal to the 4-3-3 diagram with the formula Kevin De Bruyne kicks a virtual number 9 for 90 minutes.

The only change came in the 88th minute when Raheem Sterling replaced Riyad Mahrez. Man City does not change the game at all. Pep pulled out only one link and replaced the same one.

Joao Cancelo, Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres or Fernandinho, the elements Pep uses frequently this season, have been on the bench for the full 90 minutes. The Spaniard didn’t want to take the risk.

The results were so sweet for Man City. They prevailed on the scoreboard, completely won the game position and opportunities. Pep’s army controlled the ball more (61%), shot 17 times, 2 of which hit the wooden frame, 5 went on target. Dortmund only hit the target 3 times. 9 out of 11 main Manchester City players have made at least 1 finish.

Man City players double their opponents (14 vs. 7), win the dispute too (13 vs. 6), in short play on the feet of representatives from Germany, despite being ahead.

In the most important moment of the season, Pep chose to think less. He trusted his choices more. Phil Foden, in the biggest game of his Champions League career, has scored. Riyad Mahrez also repaid his teacher with a precise penalty kick.

The factors that are rich in potential but also rich in consequences like Sterling and Cancelo are given few opportunities to show by Pep. For the first time in 5 years leading Man City, Pep has been so perfectionist in the selection of personnel.

“It is not Pep’s team anymore. It is all thanks to the players. Their abilities are too good. It is they that make a difference,” Pep stressed with Sky Italy after the match.

Before Dortmund, Pep chose to believe in his students’ abilities, instead of arranging soulless characters on the tactical table. That big change has paid off.

Number one candidate Man City

Oddschecker Considering Man City the number one candidate for the Champions League championship among the four semi-final teams. Common odds assigned to Pep Guardiola’s team are 5/4 (place 4 to 5). PSG was awarded to 10/3, with Real Madrid 4/1. Chelsea is rated the lowest with 9/2.

Pep’s change in the steering chair, uniform quality of personnel and consensus are the reasons why Manchester’s green half is expected to lift the Champions League silver cup for the first time.

Guardian revealed in the dressing room of the Etihad Stadium, Pep posted two large slogans that read “Together” (“We fight til the end”) and pictures of Man City. reap past glory.

When Foden hit Dortmund, increasing the score to 2-1 for Man City, Man City’s 2000-born star ran straight to his teacher.

Guardian describes the situation as follows: “Foden’s flying run to embrace Pep quickly became the most emotional act of the Man City team. The meaning of the ‘Together’ or ‘Fight’ banners to the last minute ‘becomes much clearer than its cliché slogan’.

Many people who pay little attention may not believe this: This is the first time, the Man City scorer has come to celebrate with Pep for 4 years. League.

48 goals were shot by the Man City players against the opponent’s net, but no time did the founder come and share the joy with the teacher. Most celebrate alone, or celebrate in front of the reporter camera.

Even in the victory that is considered to be surpassing Real Madrid in the 2019/20 season, this seemingly normal thing does not happen. Phil Foden, the 49th scorer for City in the Champions League knockout round under Pep, made that simple. And Man City in the semi-finals.

When the whistle ended the match, for the first time in a half-decade relationship with Man City, the cameras caught Pep smiling contentedly as a Champions League quarter-final match ended. There are no disappointing hugs like before Tottenham, helpless hips against Lyon, or head bowed to Liverpool, Pep’s Man City overcame those failed ghosts to enter the top four most powerful teams Europe.

Pep once admitted his way to lead Man City will be considered “failure” (failure) if he does not win the Champions League. Now Pep has the perfect opportunity to change his own destiny and Man City.
