Foden admitted that he could not replicate De Bruyne s achievements and looked forward to his new role

On Tuesday local time, Manchester City held public training for the new season. After the training, Foden was interviewed by Goal and expressed his views on the new roles and expectations he would play in the future. He admitted that he hoped he could return to his peak state.

The fans are looking forward to how Guardiola will use Foden and where he will play in the upcoming new season, and Foden himself is looking forward to it. Foden said: I'm not sure how coach Guardiola will use me yet. I can play in different positions, but we all know that my position is in the middle, near the penalty area, so let's wait and see.

While Foden hopes to return to the middle, he said that I am not here to replicate De Bruyne's achievements, because we all know how good he is and how much he has contributed to the club.

For the upcoming new season, Foden hopes to find his form quickly and do his best to achieve the best level in the Premier League in the 23-24 season. He is eager to return to that level and can only recover from his form through training. This is what he is working hard to do.

In Manchester City's most difficult moment last season, Foden did not take on the heavy responsibility of offense. From the perspective of technical characteristics, Foden cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the core of the midfield organization. His physical condition is too poor, he does not have a overall view and a broad vision of passing the ball, and he is more of a solo worker with the ball. In terms of position, his most suitable position is the front midfielder, and the right guard needs to insert it into the gap. Kicking a pure winger is both physical confrontation and speed. His role is to help organize the attack in the middle, and at the same time act as a two-pointer, lying behind Haaland waiting for an opportunity to score. I feel that this is his biggest role, mainly to play support. Judging from the state, the players' mental state was not very good last season. It may be because they were under too much pressure. The most important thing now is to adjust their mentality. In fact, Manchester City's protection for him was very good last season. The club does not want their own prince to be completely reduced, but they give them more understanding and support.
