Adebayor trusts Tevez to deliver EPL title for Manchester City
The Manchester City forward Emmanuel Adebayor has exclaimed that he and the men from Eastlands are hungry for titles and will do what it takes to acquire them. He has stated that the whole team is united under one cause and that is to win major awards for the team.
The former Arsenal striker said that Roberto Mancini has put together an amazing team that had the capability of winning all tournaments in the world. He said that he could confidently praise the attacking abilities of the team and believed that the Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez was going to play a major part in their victories.
He stated that the La AlbiCeleste forward was in terrific form and will give another tremendous performance this season. Adebayor, the 26-year old Togolese striker came around the same time Tevez did in 2009. Adebayor though came in from Arsenal where the star had a terrific career. He had made 104 appearances in which he scored 46 times. Since his 2009 arrival in Eastlands he has made 26 appearances and scored 14 times.
Tevez who is also 26 came from arch rivals Manchester United in one of the most notorious transfers in English history. Now that the rich owner of Manchester City is spending tons on his team, the team has actually produced some good results. Even Manchester United’s Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has commented that the team has gone past the stage of a noisy neighbour and has become a headache.
Tevez started his career in EPL from West Ham United, scoring 7 goals in 26 matches. After just a year Manchester United bought him and there he scored 19 goals in 63 matches. He demanded a transfer to City and after much difficulty the transfer was made. At the Eastlands he accomplished a really good start. In 35 matches he has scored 23 times, nearly becoming one of the top scorers.
Manchester City came in 5th last season just behind Tottenham Hotspurs who were 4th and got the chance of playing in the Champions League. Experts believe that City will take the EPL by storm this season, with the kind of skill they have at their disposal.
Tevez was extremely impressive in the match against Valencia and Adebayor stated that if he continued his form in the EPL it would be very hard to stop the City invasion. While talking to the media he stated, “We all know how good Carlos is and he showed it again for the half hour he was on the pitch on Saturday. He showed how motivated he is to do well for City this season as we all are”.
He continued, “We have all come here to try to make history and to do well for this club. City has done everything they can for all the players to make sure we only have to focus on one thing, playing and winning. So now it is up to us. In any season there are always difficult moments and good moments and hopefully we will have a season in which there are more good ones than bad ones”.
After the match Adebayor expressed that he was very happy with the team’s performance. He stated the 2-0 victory against Valencia showed that the team was finally coordinating and the chemistry between players was growing. He revealed that the Citizens were eagerly looking forward to the clash between Tottenham Hotspurs and hoped that they will prove their point of winning the title this season in the fixture.
Adebayor commented, “It was a good way to finish the friendly games because Valencia is a good side that keeps the ball very well”.
He added, “The win gave us confidence as we go into the match at Spurs next Saturday. Pre-season results do not really matter but as professionals we don’t like to lose any match and I think that the win on Saturday and some of the football we played showed we are ready”.
