Phil Foden's mental and physical condition is known to be very worrisome.
The British Daily Mail explained the reason for Foden's poor performance this season on the 24th (Korea time). Foden had the best season of his life in the 2023-2024 season. It was a season when Manchester City's all-time geniuses flapped their wings properly.
He created a career high season of 25 goals and 12 assists in 48 games, leading Manchester City to its fourth consecutive league victory. Based on this, Foden became the EPL Player of the Year. The ransom also soared to become a player with a whopping 150 million euros (about 238.2 billion won).
Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, said "A good player can do well, but he has to win the game. I met Lionel Messi, the best player in history. Foden can win the game. Foden is not a player of Messi's level, I don't want to compare, but he is winning the game"It was even highly praised.
But Foden is no longer Manchester City's ace in the 2024-2025 season. He is still showing an outstanding record with 10 goals and 6 assists in 38 games, but he is no longer showing his last season in his influence on the game. To be honest, the slump is sluggish and the slump is prolonged. Since the last Euro 2024, Foden has not been able to show his Foden-like form.
The reason has been revealed to some extent. Even before the start of the 2024-2025 season, Foden was not in perfect condition. The Daily Mail said "Foden played 45 minutes in the league opener against Chelsea but did not play with unknown illness for the next month. He also revealed that he suffered mental fatigue early in the season and that his brain had become blurred during training. A spokesman for Manchester City and Foden declined to give a clear answer on both issues", he explained.
The Manchester City players then worried about Foden, who moved with his family to Northwich, far away from Manchester. There is a lake there where you can fish quietly. Foden appeared to have lost weight even to the naked eye"He even told me the internal news.
A sharp drop in weight is never good news for players. This is because it is often one of the phenomena of muscle loss. In other words, the balance of the body has been broken. It is impossible for a player who is tired of his body and mind to show good performance on the field.
Public opinion is becoming more difficult as Foden has already been pointed out as to whether he is eligible for the England national team. There is only a way for players to overcome themselves, but they desperately need the help of those around them.
