Manchester City’s manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini has gone on to urge his team to not get distracted by their upcoming Premier League match against local rivals Manchester United, as the team needs to go into their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund
with no other thoughts going through their heads.
City need to go on and beat Borussia Dortmund in their upcoming game, if the team is to stand any chance of continuing to play in Europe, with them having already lost all hopes of playing in the Champions League at the turn of the year.
The Manchester based club has failed to win any of their last five games in Europe, and Mancini is not looking to end up missing out on the opportunity of losing another game.
When talking about the upcoming match against Dortmund, Mancini is reported to have said: "http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030] Aguero. Yaya [Toure] will not play"
"We are not thinking of the derby this weekend. We have a difficult match coming up here and we brought all our players except the injured ones.”
"Borussia Dortmund are currently one of the best teams in Europe and we have a difficult match ahead of us."
The manager also went on to give his team a morale boost by insisting that that they shouldn’t feel disappointed of crashing out of the competition for the second year on the run. He also admitted that Real Madrid and Dortmund deserved to progress ahead
of City, given the way they played in the group stages this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 then went on to add: "In the Europa League you play on Thursdays, so that's a bit tricky, but we still want to make it and will try everything to go through and then go as far as possible there.”
Despite all his claims and the boosts that he is giving the team the manager needs to get his tactics right if he is to stand any chance of beating Dortmund and to ensure that his team will play in at least one European competition after Christmas.
