Manchester City’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nigel-de-Jong-c27882 has admitted that he wants to win the Premier League trophy with City this coming season, in order to put aside his disappointing Euro 2012 run.
De Jong was part of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 squad that was supposed to potentially win the Euro 2012, but ended up being a part of a team that disappointed all its fans, as it crashed out much sooner than anyone expected them to.
However, the midfielder is not going to be caught up in the past and is already looking to the future. He has admitted that the Euros were a disappointment for him, but is going to go ahead and give it his all this coming season.
The Dutch international is hopeful that the team will be able to recreate their form from last season and defend their title this coming term.
The twenty seven year old midfielder is quoted to have said: "The Euros were disappointing for me because we went out in the group stage, but personally I had a good tournament - however, the team effort was not the best."
He then went on to talk about the team and how they were doing in the pre season, as he revealed that he was impressed by the way the club was moving forward.
"I've already had a few days with the team in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844, but it's always a good feeling to come back to Carrington.”
"The internationals have all come back from the Euros, so it was good to see them as well.”
"It's good to be on the pitch again. It's always nice to see the ball again and just to have the smell of the grass and great to get back into training."
City are currently on course to build for the coming season and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 has gone on to admit that he is going to be bringing in a few new faces over the coming weeks.
Should this happen, then City would be the firm favourites to go on and reclaim the title this coming season, following their impressive displays from last season.
