Ambitious Man City could dominate English football for years, says Conte

A serial victor as a manager with Barcelona and Bayern, Guardiola ended his first year in England at City without silverware – his only failure to win a trophy since his managerial career started back in 2007. The Citizen’s beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 1-0 back in September, convincing Guardiola that his side could be champions. I’m sorry because I’d be annoyed if it happened to one of you’. But in one week we have lost three games.

“If there’s kids in the room, cover their ears or send them out”, Kompany said, as he toasted City’s third league title in the last six years – the club’s first sustained period of success since the late 1960s, nearly five decades ago. And OK, Sergio [Aguero] is a genius, a top player about 30 years old but the other guys are 20, 21 years old, so we won with guys so young.

Here are the five highest points totals in Premier League history.

“They have dominated this season and it’s right to compliment them on winning this league; this league is not simple to win”.

“We try to finish this season in the best possible way”. You can do it if your team is not losing the ball, but our team was losing the ball so easy with the complication, everything was complicated, so we were losing lots of balls.

“But we improved a little on last season and we’ll look to do the same again next year”. That is important to build up the club. They did a great job on and off the pitch; they were very well prepared for the season.

They sang songs, took selfies, and clearly had a good time.

“Maybe we haven’t gone as far as we would have liked, but there have been performances along the way that show we could do something special”. That is the target.

Not so. Under that kind of pressure, De Bruyne still went and offered one of the passes of the season.

“But that is the target”.

Vertonghen, without usual partner Toby Alderweireld for much of the season, has featured in 13 of Tottenham’s 14 Premier League clean sheets this season, demonstrating his importance to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Gundogan was on target in a 3-1 win at Wembley against Tottenham to put City on the brink of claiming the title but with United not expected to slump against West Brom, the Germany global went to see former club Borussia Dortmund take on Schalke in the Bundesliga’s Ruhr derby.
