He shed some light on Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and more in a chat with It’s All Kicking Off! podcast co-host Ian Ladyman
Almost five years have passed since Ladyman’s last conversation with Foden. Then he was just a kid at 18 years old. An extremely talented child.
People within the club had an idea of what they wanted Foden to achieve, but what did he think was possible.
“The challenge for me has always been a mountain to climb to even get to the first team,” Foden says in It’s All Kicking Off! interview.
“In my head I just wanted to make an appearance for this club and be able to say I did it.
“But once I did that, I was like, ‘No, I can actually play here. I can handle the switchboard.”
“Now I’m at this stage where I feel like I’m a key player in the team. I feel very comfortable with that.
Foden now targets individual honours.
“I hope to be part of the conversation,” he said with two Player of the Year awards up for grabs.
Ladyman last spoke to Foden when he was 18. Today he is 23 years old and is aiming for individual awards.
