Manchester City has faced a series of tough matches this season, resulting in a notable points deficit behind league leaders Liverpool. However, defender Manuel Akanji remains optimistic about the team's prospects. In a recent interview with the club's official website, Akanji stated, 'We must focus on winning our next games. Everything is still possible. I don't want to talk about winning the Premier League title because we currently have a significant points gap, but nothing is over yet.'
Akanji highlighted the importance of concentrating on each match, saying, 'We never know what will happen. We just have to focus on the next game, try to win, perform well, and keep all players healthy.' He acknowledged the challenges posed by injuries but expressed confidence in the squad's depth and cohesion. 'We know each other well, and everyone tries to perform at their best, but it's not always easy, especially with injuries,' he added.
The Swiss international also addressed the team's objectives in European competitions, stating, 'Playing in the Champions League is also very important for us. We want to be among the best teams in Europe, and this is something we have to prove every year.' With two group stage matches remaining, Akanji emphasized the team's ambition to secure victories and advance to the knockout stages.
Despite the current standings, Akanji's comments reflect a resilient mindset within the Manchester City camp. The focus remains on incremental progress, with an understanding that the dynamic nature of football can lead to unexpected opportunities.
