sakidbet Manchester City senior midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has admitted that the team are feeling down after their 2-0 Champions League defeat to Juventus in the Champions League, so the clash with Manchester United on December 15th will likely see them take their frustrations out on their rivals. sakidbet
City have lost 7 of their last 10 games in all competitions (W1, D2), conceding 23 goals to their opponents, meaning that in all aspects, whether it’s the Champions League or the English Premier League, they are no longer the #1 favorites, while the Carabao Cup has also come to a halt.
Game overview at Allianz Stadium ‘The Sky Blues’ still had better ball possession but lacked the courage to play and the fearlessness that used to intimidate opponents. This is a mental problem that the German players see as urgently needing to be solved before the Manchester Derby match.
“It’s disappointing. I felt like we had two or three clear chances to score but didn’t do it. Cut back when we had to defend, every attack they gave us was dangerous – I don’t understand what’s going on,” he told Football on TNT Sports.
“I feel like we lacked attention to one-on-one duels, when in reality we could have played it simple. We overcomplicated it.”
“Confidence is the key, or maybe there’s a problem with the heart.”
“You will see how we are, like when we make a mistake and lose possession of the ball, we immediately feel faint, our rhythm is about to stumble.”
“Our opponents try to disrupt our rhythm with small details or decisive moments, and we make the wrong decisions.”
“Looking at the game, we didn’t play badly. I have to say we played quite well, just didn’t score. So, everything wasn’t easy. It’s hard to turn the situation around. Right now, we’re trying to find a way to recover our performance.”
“Whenever we counter-attack, we have to chase them 50-60 yards away – but Man City are not designed to play that way. We have to have the ball and finish them off.”
“Every player needs to go back and ask themselves, how are they going to sacrifice themselves to come back and be themselves in the next game?”
