Manchester City Phil Foden have been strong this season. He led Manchester City to the league championship and is a key winger in the team. The same is true of the English national team.
He has partnered with Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka to lead England's attack. If Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are in the middle, Saka and Foden are on the left and right sides.
Foden's number is 11. This means that he is also the best winger in England, a luxurious team that has advanced to the Euro 2024 final.
However, there is no point for Foden.
The Daily Star said on the 12th (Korea time) 'Phil Foden wears No. 47 in Manchester City. Foden says it's a uniform number that means nothing but 47. He said he plays for the national team with No. 11, but he doesn't feel much meaning.
Why is that.
The memories of Foden and his grandfather are intertwined here.
He told local media that his grandfather was a big fan of Manchester City when he was a child. By the way, he died when I was a child. When my grandfather passed away, I was 47 years old' and asked my father how about running with his number 47, and he was so happy to run. Grandpa said he would like it.
