[外電] Start scoring and I'll stop talking
Roberto Mancini has claimed he will stop talking about missing out on Robin
van Persie when his own strikers start scoring goals.
Manchester City boss Mancini spoke recently of his regret that rivals United
beat him to Van Persie's signature in the summer, claiming that the Dutch
international could make the difference in this season's Barclays Premier
League title race.
But today Mancini said he would drop the subject of his own quartet of strike
start scoring like they did last season.
All smiles: Van Persie in training on Friday ahead of Manchester United's
crunch clash with Liverpool
Mancini said: 'I continue to talk about Van Persie and other strikers. 'But
if we score two or three goals with our strikers I will stop.
'I hope we start to score with our strikers, this is very important for us.
'If (Edin) Dzeko, Carlos (Tevez), Sergio (Aguero) and Mario (Balotelli)
continue to score, I think we can change this.
Short of goals: But Balotelli, Dzeko and Tevez are all expected to be
involved against Arsenal on Sunday
'For every striker maybe there are some moments where maybe you don't score,
you don't know why, this is football.
'Last year we scored a lot of goals, maybe too many goals. 'This year we are
missing maybe 15 goals from last year but it is important that Sergio, Carlos
and Edin scored goals in the last two games.'
Mancini is expected to pair Dzeko with Tevez at Arsenal this weekend with
Balotelli on the bench.
Aguero is still recovering from a hamstring strain and will not return until
next weekend's home game with Fulham.
Centre of attention: Mancini was speaking at his Friday morning press
conference ahead of City's trip to the Emirates
City will play at the Emirates on Sunday backed by only 2,100 away fans after
900 refused to come because of high ticket prices.
Mancini is also missing players like Aguero, Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri and
is aware that City haven't won at Arsenal in the league for more than 35
years.
He added: 'To play against Arsenal in London is very, very difficult because
they play very well there.
'But we changed many things last year and it is a time now to change this
situation.
'Also it is difficult because we miss important players but we want to do a
good job on Sunday.
'We are disappointed because we need our fans away. We have fantastic fans,
fantastic support. We are sorry for this.
'I don't know the real situation. I read it in the newspaper. It is clear for
us our fans are very important.'
Mancini宣稱,如果他的前鋒可以開始進球的話,那麼他將
會停止討論 Robin van Persie。他前幾日曾抱怨沒能在夏天簽
下 Robin van Persie,以至於現在這個荷蘭前鋒已經改變了英
超爭冠的形式。Mancini說:“我會繼續談 Robin van Persie和其
他前鋒的問題,但如果我們的前鋒能一場進個兩、三球的話
,那我就會停下來。”
Mancini:我還會談論 Robin van Persie,直到前鋒能進球
Mancini宣稱,如果他的前鋒可以開始進球的話,那麼他將會
停止討論 Robin van Persie。他前幾日曾抱怨沒能在夏天簽下
Robin van Persie,以至於現在這個荷蘭前鋒已經改變了英超
爭冠的形式。
Mancini說:“我會繼續談 Robin van Persie和其他前鋒的問題
,但如果我們的前鋒能一場進個兩、三球的話,那我就會
停下來。我希望我們的前鋒可以開始進球,這對於我們很
重要。
如果(Edin) Dzeko, Carlos (Tevez), Sergio (Aguero) and
Mario (Balotelli)能繼續進球的話,我認為我們能改變目前
的情況。每個前鋒都會有進不了球的階段,你不知道為什
麼,這就是足球。去年我們進了很多球,今年我們可能比
去年少進了15個。”
談到即將與Emirates之間的比賽是,Mancini繼續說道:“在
倫敦踢Emirates是非常非常困難的,因為他們在那裡踢得
很好。是時候改變這樣的情況了,不過比賽還是會很艱難
,因為我們失去了一些重要的球員,但我們還是希望周日
能做好自己的工作。”
