In the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0 at home. Haaland scored twice. Both goals were instigated by Foden.
After the game, Guardiola said about Foden: "He has become more mature and is very good in all aspects. Now Phil enjoys the game, always smiling, and his body language during training is also very positive.
"Phil can always create opportunities with the way he moves. The first half was a bit difficult because we couldn't find open players, but then we played really well. Of course, Phil can take it a step further and play like the player we've been reminded of him in the past. We weren't at our best last season, but Phil has been great every season.
"It is impossible for players to keep themselves at the highest intensity all the time. You have to control the rhythm. Phil will be step-by-step and it is impossible to be explosive at all times. He needs to work hard for this and be down-to-earth.
"As time goes by, Phil can get stronger. Just like a bottle of fine wine, it lasts for a long time. "
