Owen Hargreaves looking towards a bright future at Manchester City
Manchester City midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Owen-Hargreaves-c28918 has gone on to admit that he is looking towards a bright future at the Etihad Stadium.
The midfielder was signed by City in the summers as part of a free transfer and since then, he has gone on to make one appearance for the team, while picking up one goal during his solitary appearance.
Prior to joining City, Hargreaves was employed by Manchester United. The midfielder managed to make five appearances for the team in the three years that he spent with them and hence his contract with the team was terminated.
Following his debut with City, the midfielder went on to admit that being back on the pitch was quite relieving for the player, who seemed to be having massive doubts about his fitness, following his lengthy lay-off.
"It has been three years and four months," he said. "That is frightening in itself.
"I am not surprised how quickly I was in contention. There was a bit of a misconception and I don't think people would believe me if I said everything that went on.
"I would never have anticipated all these setbacks in my worst nightmare.
"You are left to pick up the pieces. That has been the biggest obstacle. It was a pretty humbling experience but I knew this day would come. Hopefully I will learn from it and make some changes and look forward to the future."
During the period when he was unemployed, Hargreaves went on to make a number of promotional videos of himself. These videos were broadcasted on Youtube and were used t prove that the player was regaining his fitness and to kindle the interest of any club,
that might be interested in signing him.
However, despite that fact, City went on to sign the player for a completely different reason. The Citizens were in desperate need of a holding midfielder, as a backup and with them already having spent over twenty million pounds on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360, they opted
to take the cheap route.
The team landed Hargreaves mainly because his capture fell in line with UEFA’s fair play rules and allowed them to add some depth to their team.
Hargreaves so far looks to be in top form for the team and the fact that he managed to play for sixty minutes without showing any signs of an injury are quite remarkable.
Should the player be able to keep his fitness up, then he could finally live up to his former reputation and end this would help him end his career on a high.
