Roberto Mancini aims to crush Manchester United
Manchester City Manager Roberto Mancini has revealed that beating Manchester United would bring him special delight. Mancini said the bragging rights of City is not the only incentive for him, but it would give his team also a massive boost in their title
bid.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 said playing Manchester United at Old Trafford is not easy, but still beating them at home is much better than anywhere else. He said winning an all-important derby away from home is far more impressive than winning at home.
Mancini added that United have won pretty much everything, but City have not won anything for a while. However, he believes that things can really change quickly in today’s game. If City managed to win the game, they would be able to narrow the gap between
them and their rivals.
Mancini said after the loss for United against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 last weekend, it has become a more open title race. He added English Premier League giants Chelsea also lost and Arsenal drew. While City managed to win courtesy a hat-trick by Carlos Tevez. So City was
able to make ground on all the other contenders.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager said that it is a big derby with one team on top of the table and the other third. He added that last week no one could imagine Wolves beating United.
The City boss said with Europa League and UEFA Champions League heading into the knockout stages, all teams would have extra commitments. And all those games can have an adverse affect on teams, so things can really change in next month or so.
City boss said that before Chelsea’s loss to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 can still pose a big threat. However, now their chances look bleak, and even though United still lead the table, they are no longer sure to win the league.
Roberto, who came to City with big expectations, said for him it is essential to end the season with silverware. He added that his team still has a chance to win in Premier League, FA Cup and also in Europa League.
Last season, Manchester City were beaten twice by late goals in the league, courtesy Michael Own and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 who came up with a late goal to seal the
win.
Mancini said last season United were lucky to get late goals, but this time his team would be prepared and they have come a long way since last season.
