00:00Phil scored twice on Saturday. He's coming up to 18 months left on his contract and

00:06I'm just wondering where that is and obviously he must be a player that you'll want

00:10to sign on here and keep here for many many years. You're right, completely right.

00:18No update on where that's at? No idea but hopefully gonna stay

00:22all his career here. He's a special player, Man City fan for the academy so no doubt about that but

00:34I don't know him, he's itching the club, I don't know.

00:46Just on GGO, I think three of those four yellows have been for protesting,

00:50complaining against decisions. Is that something he needs to adapt to the league or just stop doing

00:55or is that part of his game? Yeah, for sure. He will step by step understand things in the new league and

01:02new behaviours. Is it a case of speaking to him? No. No? He's adult enough. He's what, sorry? He's adult enough.

01:12Right. And just the way that the weekend went for the whole team, it felt like a good win in the end

01:22after the weekend and Arsenal dropping points? Yeah, absolutely. So it was a game under control and we

01:28make two mistakes, especially the first one after the motions was there. And we had to try to, you know,

01:36when the opening score goals, we were deserving of giving away for ourselves and because we reopened the game

01:42when it was in control. But yeah, always as I said, there's a process instead of getting better

01:51and getting better. And of course, get the results always help us and try to, you know, to continue that way,

01:58make a game by game, a good run of points.

02:07Hi Pep. Phil was talking to us after the match on Saturday about how he thinks he's become more of a

02:14leader or he sees himself as more of a leader in the squad. Have you seen that aspect of his

02:19his game, his personality develop over the last... On the pitch, we have been like that.

02:23So a vocal is not a guy who talk much in the dressing room, but on the pitch, always have never behind,

02:33never hide behind the scenes and never hide, you know, what's going on. Always took a responsibility

02:38for the day one. Always have been an incredible presence on the pitch.

02:41And obviously, because he's a homegrown player, Phil, and he would probably want to stay for the rest of

02:47his career. Would you see him sort of entering that captaincy group sometime later on in his...

02:53He wants, yeah. He wants to become, yeah. But captains that became, at the end, become

02:59from themselves or your behaviour on and off the pitch. So it depends on him.

03:07Hi Pep. When Aguero was here, he would often score 20-plus Premier League goals. You'd have someone

03:11like Raheem Sterling maybe getting 17 or 18. Can Phil Foden fill that role with regard to Erling?

03:17Erling, you know, sort of 17 or 18 Premier League. I don't know.

03:19I've done it in the past. Erling, I feel in the year that he won the last Premier League,

03:26four in a row, and was the best player. I think, I don't know how many goals he scored,

03:31but he scored a lot of goals and assists, but that's the truth. So the years were when success,

03:35not just the strikers, you know, especially wingers attacking midfielders, especially one year from

03:41Gundo, the year of the travel. Gundo scored a lot of goals, so we need that.

03:44And when that happens, is that a function of your team playing well and creating chances

03:48or is it up to the players individually to sort of, you know, score these goals?

03:51Absolutely. The way we play, we had to create, we had to try to create a lot of chances,

03:57but that is the truth. For example, Tijani have the last three or four games. I know many games

04:02always shoot inside of the box. The players save, the keepers save, and they arrive a moment that

04:08they put the ball in the net and our game and our results will be better. That's for sure.

04:16Hi, Pep. Tomorrow's the first game. I think there's eight games, eight Premier League games

04:23coming up in the next sort of seven weeks, sorry, five weeks starting tomorrow. How,

04:28how sort of crucial is this, is this sort of December Christmas period?

04:31Well, you are 20 points in front of the second, so it's not crucial, but we are in the position and

04:37we came, for example, the week before, before international break, that was a crucial for us

04:44because of course, Astana was, it's not dropping points. So yeah, the situation I do have, we can't

04:49do in games. Otherwise it will be difficult. You're going to need all your squad, aren't you? Because

04:54there's, there's also two cup games in there as well. So, you know, it's obviously, you see the schedule

04:59in my office and I see January, December, January, especially January and February as well. So,

05:05if we continue in the Carabao Cubs and the FA Cup is involved in this kind of stuff, so have a lot,

05:12a lot of games. No doubt about that. And is it too early to ask about January,

05:16whether you're likely to do any business or...? Too early.

05:23Anything else, Walsh? Have a lovely day. Bye bye. Thank you.
