The winger believes that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men can’t handle the tag of being English title holders and are letting the pressure get to them in all competitions this season.
While the Citizens are the most dominating side in terms of defence, their tepid performances have been criticized in the Premiership as well as in Europe, where they bowed out of the tournament even before the knock-out rounds.
Following their triumph in May, City were overwhelming favourites to retain their crown this season but after some below-par outings, they succumbed to their neighbours, who are now three points clear of them going into the hugely anticipated Manchester
derby on Sunday.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s troops have not only managed to ascertain pole position in the rankings but their superior form in the UEFA Champions League meant that they qualified for the latter stages within three games.
On the other hand, the Sky Blues struggled against the likes of Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid emphatically before being dumped out of Europe’s premier competition.
Now United’s legendry Welshman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 had laid claim that the ‘Noisy Neighbours’ are struggling to cope with the pressure that comes with being the champions and reiterated that the mood at Old Trafford was a nail-biting one as the city of Manchester
prepared for the biggest match in current English football.
“We are all looking forward to it, obviously. It’s a massive game, the one you want to play in, and it’s nice that we go into it three points ahead. These games have got bigger and bigger. The build-up to the actual games have been really competitive, the
games themselves have had a lot of quality and it just seems to get bigger and bigger,” said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 captain while speaking to the media.
“With City winning the league last season, it has added spice. I think teams raise themselves against us, because we are United, and City have found that a bit this season, because they are the champions and because of the money they’ve spent,” the evergreen
Giggs was quoted as saying by the reporters.
