Jack Grealish can’t wait to play with Phil Foden

DBasia.news – Jack Grealish and Phil Foden are best friends and compatriots in England. That can help the two of them work together when competing.

After defending the English National Team at the 2020 European Cup, two interesting talents in the Premier League, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, will certainly play together at Manchester City. Grealish himself had just completed his move from Aston Villa this summer.

The 25-year-old player admitted that he couldn’t wait to come back with Foden. He felt his relationship with Foden was getting closer when both of them were in the England national team. Grealish also believes that his connection with Foden can have a positive impact on The Citizen.

“When we played for England, I got along well with him. He made me laugh. Foden is like a younger brother. I can’t wait to play regularly with him week after week,” Grealish told the club’s official website.

 “I feel sometimes when you have a connection with someone off the pitch it can be transferred onto the pitch. We did that in training with England. We’ll be looking for each other, playing in pairs and I can’t wait to do that here.”

Grealish’s joy for Foden is of course not only limited to friendship. Grealish specifically describes the high level of quality possessed by Foden, even though he is only 21 years old.

“He’s amazing. I don’t think anyone needs to be told about that. Everyone knows how good he is. He got the best first touch I’ve ever seen, whether the ball came out of the sky or it hit him,” Grealish added

“He’s very subtle, from the way he dribbles. He’s a lot faster than people are praising.”
