Will he ever emerge from the crisis Manchester City? Just under two months ago it would have been absurd to ask, yet Pep Guardiola's stellar team has lost blow after blow and has inexorably fallen to seventh place in the Premier League, even out of place in any European cup.
The defender of the reigning English champions, Manuel Akanjispoke to Amazon Prime to analyze the 1-1 draw against Everton today: “I think we did much more for the match. We created many chances, unfortunately we only managed to score one goal and conceded a goal for nothing, but that's how it is that's how football is going. Today was a match in which we could have scored three or four goals, but they didn't go in. But, to tell the truth – continues the player's outburst – it can't happen that we risk losing at the last minute minute We were trying to attack, but I think it was like a 6 against 2 in front of our goal. We have to believe until the last moment that we can win the match”, he suggested.
On City's title hopes: “The season is not over, but at the moment it is not a goal for us. We have to concentrate game after game, and the next one against Leicester will not be easy, especially considering the form we are in. We have to focus on the positive aspects. We have we did many things well. We defended well and attacked well, but we weren't able to finish as we wanted, otherwise we could have scored three or four goals”, he added.
