Manchester City Players' News with Their National Teams

Kyle Walker Defends Foden with the English National Team

English star Kyle Walker, defender for Manchester City, defended his fellow countryman and teammate, Phil Foden, after Foden received some criticism for his recent performance with the national team.

Kyle Walker said: I don’t think one match defines a player; it should be a season or a tournament that determines a player's strength, especially with Phil coming back from his season. I don’t think he should be criticized for just one match. There is simply too much pressure on him after this fantastic season.

Manchester City Players with National Teams are the Worst

Manchester City players have shown poor performance in the Euro 2024 tournament so far.

Yesterday, Gvardiol behaved poorly in Croatia's match against Albania and did not handle the Albanian team's late equalizer well.

Additionally, Bernardo Silva did not perform well with the Portuguese national team in their match against the Czech Republic, and Haaland could not lead Norway to qualify for the current Euro tournament. This brings us to one important question... Are all these players bad, and is Guardiola the one who knows how to utilize them well? Or has the player exhausted all his energy with the club and comes to the national team without spirit?

Limited Technically and Mentally... Kovačić is an Example of Those Expelled from Madrid

After the Euro match between Croatia and Albania, City player Kovačić faced criticism from fans for his poor performance.

Critics pointed out Kovačić's weaknesses, such as his inaccurate shooting on goal and his physical decline in the second half. Despite everyone expecting a promising future for him, his performance with City and the Croatian team has been unconvincing.

This highlights that the reason behind his sale by Real Madrid is his mindset, which has not developed and does not accept a substitute role. He is very limited in his mental capabilities. Certainly, these traits did not fit with Real Madrid's management, who promptly moved him to Chelsea.
