3: International Career

When it comes to the country both of them share the same crest and sing the same anthem. The duo shares a good bond on the international stage, unlike their fans who spread hate towards each other. They even got together in a big controversy of bringing girls to their room in Iceland.

The incident is enough for us to believe that they are great friends in real life. They share a mutual respect for each other.

Phil Foden:  “Mason Greenwood, the best I’ve seen finishing wise. He’s both-footed in and around the box. He’s always going to score. He just knows when to finesse or lace it.”
