Domenec Torrent has no doubts about the potential of Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.
Torrent was ten years Pep Guardiola‘s assistant at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
He told the Daily Mail: “He’s very gifted. Pep showed him things and in two seconds, he knew what he had to do.
“He knew when he had to break lines with passes, knew when he had to wait, he knew how to move. He understood it all very quickly.
“And players like Foden have added value because they are local lads have a real feel for the club. The best Barcelona team in history was full of players from its youth system.
“They have a special DNA. And this happens with Foden. They can play well or badly but it doesn’t weigh on them, they are no nerves because this is where they wanted to be all their life, it’s the team they wanted to play for.
“Phil Foden doesn’t get nervous. Sergio Busquets doesn’t get nervous. Xavi doesn’t get nervous. Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta don’t.
“You can sign a player who has been at big clubs for years and he comes to the Camp Nou and it eats him up.
“Pique came at 19, and it felt natural to him: this is my team, my pitch, my terrain. A player like that has no nerves.”
