One game at a time for City manager
Date published: 22 January 2014
WINNING every game is the sole focus for Manchester City and manager Manuel Pellegrini after the demolition of West Ham earned a place in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley.
City beat the Hammers with an aggregate 9-0 score after putting three more past the London side in last night’s Upton Park second leg.
An unprecedented four-way win doesn’t seem beyond the scintillating on-form City: “I’m very proud of the team that we are still in four competitions,” Pellegrini said.
“BUt we aren’t thinking about winning all four. We are thinking just to win every match.
“Now we’ve finished with the Capital One Cup until March. It’s very important to continue in the FA Cup, so we must win against Watford on Saturday. We’ll continue with the same winning and ambitious mentality. We have a lot of work to do.”
Pellegrini is unconcerned who his side face on March 2, with the prospect of a Manchester derby in the final if Manchester United can overturn a 2–1 first–leg deficit against Sunderland at Old Trafford tonight.
