Manchester City’s manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini is not feeling the pressure, despite his team being knocked out of all European competitions at this stage in the season.
The City boss saw his side become the first ever English side to fail at winning a single one of their group games in the Champions League, and this terrible performance saw the club finish at the bottom of their group.
With them not even claiming the third spot, the team was knocked out of the Champions League, and they also failed to claim a Europa League spot in the process.
Despite this fact, the manager feels that there is no pressure on him or the team, since going into the current season, their prime focus was to do well in the league and to win the FA Cup.
"It's clear the season isn't finished. We have the Premier League and FA Cup to go for," he told reporters, "but we must work more now. What we're doing is not enough.”
"Our target when we started the season was to defend our title. That was the main target.
"Our targets have not changed. Our main target was the Premier League and FA Cup - to win a trophy.”
"We knew it was difficult to win the Champions League but our target in Europe was to get into the second stage.”
"We wanted to get to the Champions League second stage - then in February, when you're there, you can change your target. But we didn't and now we can't.”
Even though it seems like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 is not always sure about just what he is doing, the manager seems to have thought out just what he wants from the season, and so far everything seems to be going according to his plans.
He had previously hinted that he would do the best that he could in Europe, but also insisted that if things didn’t work out, not all hope would be lost for the team.
Nonetheless, with him being so confident about his team’s domestic performances, it is a wait to see just how they do in those competitions.
