Edin Dzeko inadvertently takes a shot at Manchester United
Edin Dzeko has inadvertently riled United fans after he stated that most people from the city of Manchester are Manchester City fans.
The Bosnian claims to have little knowledge about the local rivalry between the two clubs. Had he known better, he would have avoided making such remarks. It is hotly debated as to which team has the biggest fan-base within the city, and is one of the biggest
points of contention between supporters of both clubs.
Dzeko is the most prolific goalscorer in the history of Wolfsburg, making him the subject of much interest from the biggest clubs in Europe. However, Roberto http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 beat all his other suitors to the punch. Dzeko joined Manchester City from Wolfsburg for
a reported fee of 27 million pounds, setting a new Bundesliga record.
Manchester City recently held a press conference to officially announce Edin Dzeko’s transfer from Wolfsburg. It was here that the striker inadvertently ruffled the feathers of Manchester United fans.
Speaking on his decision to join Manchester City, the Bosnian said, “I decided to come here because I saw something else in Manchester City. It is a big club with big ambition and I am an ambitious player. I know this is a big project. Manchester City are
a very good team. They have a very good coach. And I have heard a lot about the fans. I have also heard that most of the people from Manchester are Manchester City fans.”
His comments will make him an instant hero in the eyes of the Manchester City faithful. Dzeko will certainly receive a warm reception against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 on Saturday, which will be his first match for his new club.
The striker went on to add that he will give it his all in order to steer Manchester City to their first Premier League crown. Speaking on City’s chances of winning the Barclays Premier League trophy, the Bosnian said, “Everything is possible in football.
We are two points behind Manchester United, so we have to try to win the next game and see what happens.”
