Man City whiz Foden: I have same feeling in Qatar as when winning U17 World Cup

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden says winning the U17 World Cup can help him in Qatar with England.

He admits confidence was the major in the win in India.

Foden, who scored twice in the 5-2 final hammering of Spain in India, said: “I do strongly remember the Under-17s just being so confident. Not being big-headed but we just knew we were going to win because of how good we were and the talent we had.

“Even when we were behind in the final, we carried on playing the same way and believed we were going to win it.

“It was very special. I definitely have the same feeling now.

“Obviously, from the Euros last year, making it to the final gives the team a big lift.

Harry Kane has already touched on it. He sees us as one of the favourites. We've just got to be confident and believe in that."
