After Manchester City beat Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at home in the Champions League, coach Guardiola was happy with Foden's recovery.
Guardiola is very satisfied with Foden's performance and said that his performance reflects the good state of the entire Manchester City team this season: "He is back this season, not just Foden, all of us experienced the struggles last season."
"When Foden moved between the midfield lines with ease, his first touch of the ball, turn and subsequent running and fighting Bodu is outstanding. When he is full of love and joy, you don't need to say anything. He is a special player, but we need his goals and hope that today is a good start."
"We need him against Liverpool on Sunday. Not only because he scored two goals today, he was the best player in the Premier League. To do that shows that he is really good."
"Assists, goals, work attitude and recovery ability, he is a top player and we miss him very much, especially his happiness. We feel that he is back and can play as he wants."
"How many times have we seen Foden score this kind of goal? It helps us a lot. Kicked around the post, as easy as passing the ball, Foden was fantastic. "We're fourth now, much better than last season and we have a lot of games ahead, including against a very demanding opponent like Bournemouth in three days, but we dealt with it well today."
