The Englishman was the top performer for City in the Premier League, as they retained their title.
However, he did not always follow his manager’s instructions, as evidenced by a club documentary.
After a draw against Crystal Palace, Guardiola was irate: “Phil, in the f***ing 18-yard box, you don’t touch the opponent. It's unacceptable, Phil Foden, unacceptable!”
He shouted at the whole team: “You are to apologise. You are teenagers. I say something when we drop points against Tottenham and Liverpool? I say something? Tell me. I blame you? I say something?
“Here (pointing at his head), use it. Here, you have to use it! F*ing hell. F*ing hell,” added Guardiola as he stalked around the room.
