The long-serving manager believes that without UEFA Europa League at the Etihad Stadium this season, the reigning Premier League champions will suffer immensely.
With all their spending power and assortment of talented players, Manchester City have failed to make a mark on Europe’s biggest competition.
Sheikh Mansour’s immense wealth has resulted in some key wins for the Sky Blues, but so far they have been unable to churn out the right scorelines when it comes to the continental tournament.
City were placed in one of the Champions League’s toughest groups alongside Real Madrid, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund.
However, they were unable to get the better of Madrid in two encounters and Ajax also made short work of them both in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
Dortmund have already defeated the Citizens once and the two again face each other in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. City need gain three points against the Bundesliga giants and hope that Los Blancos win against Ajax, otherwise they could be deprived of a spot in the Europa
League.
With lofty ambitions of becoming the world’s biggest club, it would be a huge dent in their confidence and reputation, which according to Ferguson will give manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 a major headache when it comes to naming the starting line-up.
City need to beat Dortmund. I don’t think losing for a big club is ever healthy. On the one hand you could be fresh for the second half of the season You could play a fresh team every week. But how do you keep them all happy? They are out of the Capital
One Cup. They’re out of the Champions League,” said the tactician after the exciting game with Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
Continuing, he added that the players will get annoyed with the reduced game time and it could take a toll on the team’s morale if envy begins to settle in.
“For a club that size there’s not enough games to keep the momentum going. Players want to play every week. Some players have to play every game. That’s a fact,” Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
