How he played simple, how he can be more aggressive. He has the pleasure to score the goals and the threat when he\u2019s close to their box. Always he is there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he\u2019s an exceptional, exceptional player. He is [young] and already has more than 250 games for City, that shows the impact he has had since he arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foden\u2019s hat trick was the second that he has scored in the Premier League \u2014 his first coming against Manchester United on October 2, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know his limits,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cHe will decide. For him, football is the most important thing of his life. Of course aside from his family and kids, it is the most important thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt depends on him, but he enjoys a lot. He loves to play football. When you see players like him playing in the street when you are a little boy, you have this sense of amateurism [in the way he plays].\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola called Phil Foden an \u201cexceptional\u201d player after the midfielder\u2019s hat trick inspired Manchester City to a 3-1 victory over Brentford in west London on Monday, adding: \u201calways he is there.\u201d City had looked as if they might be frustrated by Brentford after Neal Maupay put the home side in front in the 21st [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":148599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
