Pep Guardiola praises Rodri from Manchester City, saying he has the ability to excel in any era, and also describes Phil Foden as a remarkable player.

In a recent interview, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, praised the consistency of his players Rodri and Phil Foden. Guardiola believes that Rodri, the holding midfielder, is underappreciated and could have been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Season award. However, Guardiola stated that Rodri knows his worth and is highly regarded within the team and English football.

Guardiola went on to say that Rodri has the ability to play in Barcelona’s first European Cup-winning team under Johan Cruyff. He jokingly added that Rodri’s inclusion in that team could have cost Guardiola his own place. Guardiola believes that both Rodri and Foden are talented enough to play in any generation and in teams across the world.

Speaking about Foden, Guardiola expressed his satisfaction with the player’s performances this season. He believes that Foden will continue to improve with experience and game time. Guardiola compared the development of players to that of managers, stating that they need to play regularly in order to improve.

When asked if Foden could have featured in the 1992 side, Guardiola responded positively, stating that Foden is a special player with the potential to reach that level. Guardiola also discussed his admiration for basketball superstar Michael Jordan and how he would wake up early to watch his games in the 90s.
