Gurlitt: Foden and Messi are the same type of players and I love watching him play

This season, Manchester City's 20-year-old Foden has become a very important player under Guardiola, scoring 15 goals and giving 10 assists after playing 48 games for the team. For Foden's performance, Dutch football star Gullit did not hesitate to praise.

Speaking to the BBC, Gurlitt said: "In the past, only tall, strong and fast players would always be favored by the England national team, but nowadays I think players who are shorter, more agile and more technical are more trusted. ”

"City have given Foden a chance, he has proven himself what an incredible player he is, he and Messi are in the same type of player. Still, Foden wasn't exactly like Messi, and no one was. However, in terms of stature, height, and speed, the two of them are the same. He's a very good player and I love watching him play. ”
