The former Juventus midfielder has warned his teammates about the threat of Yaya Toure ahead of his side’s upcoming Champions League encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men.
Ajax Amsterdam veteran midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Poulsen-c9114, has insisted that Manchester City boast a lot of world class players in their squad, and will certainly pose a real threat to his side in their upcoming UEFA Champions League game at Amsterdam Arena on
Wednesday, October 24. However, the Dane has admitted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Silva-c10601 is their most important player.
“Manchester City are a team with a lot of world-class players but I think David Silva is their key player”, Poulsen was quoted as saying to goal.com.
Silva, who joined the Citizens in the summer of 2010 after representing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in well over 100 matches, has been one of the most consistent performers for the Sky Blues since his arrival at Etihad Stadium.
However, the Spanish international will be watching his side’s upcoming game against the Amsterdam giants from the sidelines, as he is sidelined due to an injury.
Nonetheless, Poulsen has admitted that the 26-year-old midfield maestro’s absence will not cause any problem for the Citizens, as they have plenty of other players, who can replace him at the centre of the park.
“Well, that's a small relief but, on the other hand, they have a lot of players who can replace him”, the 32-year-old Dane added.
The former Sevilla midfielder went on to heap praise on the Sky Blues’ another impact player, Yaya Toure, and has admitted that the influential midfielder has improved his game a lot since joining the English champions.
“Toure is a very strong midfielder. His physique is outstanding and that's going to put us in a difficult position. I think I've played against him when I was at Sevilla and he played for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 but he has become even better since joining City”, Poulsen
added.
Nonetheless, the Danish international, who has tons of experience under his belt, has expressed confidence that his side can achieve a good result on Wednesday.
“If we manage to play our own way, we can hurt a team like Manchester City”, Poulsen concluded.
