[인터풋볼] Reporter Yoon Hyo-yong = Manchester City’s Phil Foden has revealed that he will focus only on Liverpool in the pursuit of Manchester United.
Man City will face Liverpool in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) for the 2020-21 season, which will be held in Liverpool Anfield on the 8th at 1:30 am (Korean time). Man City is currently leading with 47 points, and home team Liverpool are in fourth place in the league with 40 points after losing a 0-1 shock to Brighton in the last match.
This round is an important match for both teams. In Man City, it is an opportunity to beat Manchester United (45 points), which followed by two points, and run the leader alone. The current situation is that they have played two less games with Manchester United, so the difference can be widened up to 8 points. On the contrary, Liverpool must catch Man City and escape the sluggishness. Currently, he has won 4 games (2 draws, 2 losses) in the home alone, and has missed his 2nd consecutive home win, so he must win. As 5th place West Ham caught up by 1 point, the 4th place could be threatened.
The players also know the importance of this match. Man City’s Phil Foden said ahead of the game, “It’s probably the biggest I’ve ever played in the league this season. This victory will help you get closer to winning. I hope so.”
He continued, “I beat them at home in the 2018-19 season. The atmosphere was amazing. The game was strong in my memory. Sergio Aguero scored a goal from a difficult angle.”
Man City hasn’t recently won Anfield. Liverpool played an undefeated 68-game streak at Anfield, showing strong at home, and Man City couldn’t beat it. It is Man City, who has only lost 1 draw and 1 loss at Anfield since the recent 18-19 season.
In response, Foden said, “It’s hard to play in Anfield every time. I haven’t beaten them for quite some time. I hope this weekend will change. There was always a fierce game,” he said. “When I was young, the Manchester United and Manchester derby were more intense. But now more teams and games are so. Liverpool is also a great team and has a lot of good strikers.”
Even at the young age of 20, he is Foden, who scored 11 goals this season. Regarding his performance, “This season is the first season I don’t think of as’Wow, Aguero’. Over time, I realized that I had to be their teammate too. That brought me to a higher level. It can’t be that good if you win.” “Everyone is in a good mood right now. I will focus on one game and one game in the future and not look too far.”
