9:16pm, 25 September 2025【Football】

In the early morning of September 25, a focus battle was staged in the third round of the 2025/26 England League Cup. The Blue Moon Army Manchester City defeated Huddersfield 2-0 away and successfully advanced. In this game, Manchester City Prince Foden continued to start and staged a good show of passing and shooting. The Premier League MVP who once could do anything in front of the goal is really back. In this game, Manchester City made a huge rotation, with only Foden and Nico O'Reilly continuing to start. After the opening, Manchester City took the initiative on the court with their superior strength. In the 9th minute, Oscar Bob entered the penalty area with the ball, and young player Mukasa shot and was blocked by the opponent. 9 minutes later, Mukasa and Foden played a wonderful match against the wall, and the latter kicked the opponent's goal against the ground, and Manchester City led 1-0 away.

In the following time, Foden also instigated several threatening attacks, but his teammates failed to seize the opportunity. Until the 74th minute of the second half, Manchester City organized an offense to form a melee in the penalty area. After Foden got the ball, he calmly passed it to Savignho on the left. The latter shot and scored a goal to win the first goal in the new season, and Manchester City finally secured the victory 2-0.

In this game, Foden played for 77 minutes, scored 1 goal and sent 1 assist, contributing the highest 3 key passes in the game. In addition, he has 3 breakthroughs, 2 steals, 6 crosses and 8 long passes, and won 4 times in 5 ground confrontations. After the game, the Prince of Manchester City scored a game-high 8.4 points. Judging from the performance on the court, Foden and other players are simply two dimensions.

It is worth mentioning that after making a pass in this game, Foden has gained 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 4 games. With half of the team's injuries suffering from injuries, the Prince of Manchester City returned to take on the banner of midfield organization and led Manchester City to win 2 wins and 1 draw in a strong dialogue with Manchester United, Naples and Arsenal, and this game shone again.

As the only player among the three new and old Manchester City youth training players who are still at the Etihad Stadium, Foden's performance has been steadily improving over the years. In the 2023/24 season, he scored 27 goals and 12 assists in 53 games, including 19 goals and 8 assists in 35 games in the Premier League, becoming one of the biggest contributors to Manchester City's record-breaking Premier League championships. Foden was also awarded the Premier League MVP honor without any suspense.

But perhaps because the crown is too heavy, Foden's form is sluggish in the next 2024/25 season, with only 13 goals and 6 assists in 49 games. The value has also shrunk by 50 million euros. Although he gradually regained his form in the Club World Cup, he was immediately troubled by injuries and only played once in the first three rounds of the Premier League in the new season for 16 minutes. In fact, even coach Guardiola is not sure whether Foden can return in a timely manner in the fierce battles after international match days. However, the Prince of Manchester City gave everyone a huge surprise.

started in 4 consecutive games in 11 days, 2 of which played the whole game, which shows that Foden's physical condition is quite good. His omnipotent performance on the field goal organization also makes people sigh that Manchester City finally regained its offensive brain after losing De Bruyne. This season, the Manchester City prince is worth looking forward to.
