Manchester City midfielder, Fernandinho has come out to say that the EPL title is in City’s hands. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the recent draw at Anfield means that Manchester City players no longer need to concern themselves with results at Liverpool because they are in charge of their own destiny.
Fernandinho added that beating Newcastle United was a good response to the Real Madrid defeat in the Champions League, and he hopes the team sees the league out.
His words, “It was a great response [after defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League] but at the same time we are focusing on ourselves and know the title is in our hands,”
“It doesn’t matter what they do over there, we have to keep going through all the hard games. And this is what we are trying to do, focus on ourselves but I thought it was a great response after defeat in Madrid.”
“It’s been three nights in a row practically with no sleep!”
“But it’s a part of life, it’s part of football. I’ve been through a few situations like this, but the most important thing was that we managed to give a good response.”
“It was an important match, a result we really needed. And not only the result, but the way the team played was really positive. And it keeps us alive with a much bigger chance in these final three matches in the Premier League.”
“This year, approaching the end of the season, we’ve been talking for a while, analysing the situation, how things were in Brazil and here as well and we finally decided it was the right time to go back,”
“For me, my family, my kids, to be closer to the family as well, grandparents, uncles, cousins. It was a decision from all of us. And we know the work done here in these past nine years was well done, and we’re very happy with this decision.”
“At the right time people will know our destiny. We haven’t decided yet, but I hope it will be soon. What is left for me is to finish the last three weeks here as best as possible, and to help the club to keep the Premier League title.”
