LONDON: Edin Dzeko remembers clearly how Manchester City’s title hopes were written off prematurely two years ago and the striker is hoping the pundits are similarly wide of the mark after the weekend’s defeat at Liverpool.
In early April 2012, City trailed Manchester United by eight points but they won their last six games to claim the league title for the first time in 44 years.
The 3-2 reverse at Anfield on Sunday left City trailing Liverpool by seven points and Chelsea by five but, because of their games in hand, they are in a better position than they were two years ago.
“It’s too early to say if Sunday’s result will decide where the title ends up because we still have six games to play and Liverpool and Chelsea both have four left,” the Bosnian striker told the club’s website.
“People talk about pressure and suchlike but that doesn’t really matter – just who wins the most games between now and the end of the season. I firmly believe, like the last time we won the title, that it will go right to the wire despite our defeat at Anfield.” (Reuters)
