Guardiola Praises Foden's No10 Role as Man City Wins Carabao Cup Match

Pep Guardiola has praised Phil Foden for rediscovering his best form, particularly when playing as a No10, a central attacking midfielder role close to the box where he can exploit pockets of space effectively. Foden scored in Manchester City's 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Huddersfield, contributing to a series of strong performances against Arsenal, Manchester United, and Napoli. Guardiola highlighted that Foden's unique ability to play freely near the striker makes him a real threat and noted that the team's improved performance allows players like Foden to reach their potential. The match also saw Guardiola give opportunities to young talents from the club’s academy, including 18-year-old Divine Mukasa and the Heskey brothers, sons of former England player Emile Heskey, praising their debuts. Guardiola also mentioned the physical demands on his young players and the importance of squad rotation, expressing satisfaction with the team's aggressiveness and energy during the game. Manchester City now prepare to face Burnley in the Premier League and Swansea in the next Carabao Cup round.
