Manchester City’s Joe Hart and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kolo-c21278 Toure have admitted that they want to focus on the Premier League, following the teams elimination from the Europa League.
City went into their game with Sporting Lisbon after a one goal to nil loss in the first leg. However, the team soon found themselves trailing by two goals to nil in the second leg.
The Blue side of Manchester then turned up the heat and score three goals in the second half. In doing so, the team managed to level the scores in the tie, but needed another goal to go through, due to the away goals rule.
However, despite http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699 heading the ball goal wards in the last minute of added time, Sporting managed to hang on by the skin of their teeth, as they prevented City from producing another brilliant comeback.
In the end, despite the tie ending at three all, Sporting Lisbon went through due to their away goals.
Joe Hart and Kolo Toure have now gone on to insist that the team needs to focus on winning the Premier League and avoid any slip ups from now on.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international is quoted to have said: "We can take positives because we are a great side. We are one point behind the leaders of the Premier league.
"We’re a good team. We’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ll go into that match [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786] as favourites. We should be favourites. We’re a good side and I hope we will win."
Kolo Toure went on to agree with his goal keeper and continuing where Hart left of, he went on to add: "I think we did well and Joe Hart had a great header at the end but the goalkeeper managed to tip it out. It was really unlucky for us. We now need to
keep our heads up and just think about the next game against Chelsea.”
"For Manchester City, every trophy is very important. When we go out it is very difficult, but now we just need to think about the future because the past is the past."
