Both the Manchester City players have come out and made their intentions clear for the upcoming season as they treasure the English Premier League title but UEFA Champions League success is also important to their time at the
Etihad stadium...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Zabaleta-c29022 and Yaya Toure have become the latest Manchester City players to iterate that they would like the club to do well in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Manchester City qualified for the European Cup courtesy of
their title triumph in the previous league season and now they are looking to go as far as possible in the Champions League as well.
City have built up an impressive squad which challenged and won against Manchester United in the title race but it might take them sometime to acclimatize themselves to the rigours and tricks of European football.
Last season they failed to qualify for the knock out stages after being defeated by Sporting Lisbon in the group stages. City’s squad was hit by a disagreement between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez as well in the same competition
when the striker refused to warm up and defied the manager’s orders.
Regardless, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 and co. will try their best to make a mark in European football for the coming season as they have already proven themselves in domestic competitions. Toure and Zabaleta will be crucial to their chances of doing
so because both the players are first team starters in Mancini’s outfit.
Yaya Toure said, “I believe we can do it again and we have to go higher. The priority is the Premier League and go as far as possible in the Champions League. It is important we continue to improve and we hope we can be successful
this year as it is an exciting year for us and for the fans.”
Zabaleta confirmed this focus as he said, "Every competition is important for us, our target is to try and win trophies this season. We have the Champions League. We didn't play our best in the Champions League, we know that, and
maybe this year we will try and improve that work.”
