Man City defender John Stones has urged his team-mates to focus on their own performances and not on the outside, as it is the strength that has made the team successful over the years.

City’s summer market in 2024 is quiet with only winger Savinho from Girona and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, a free agent whose contract was terminated from Barcelona. On the other hand, the departures include striker Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, Kalvin Phillips on loan to Ipswich and defender Sergio Gomez to Real Sociedad. 

This has created doubts among those in the industry as to whether the ‘Sky Blues’ squad is big enough to handle their opponents. The English defender wants UFABET to clear things up, no matter how others think, his team only cares about their performance and the personnel they have, which is enough to handle them. 

“The road ahead is still long,” he said on the official website.

“I would say that we only care about ourselves 100%, and one of the strongest qualities of the team is that we only care about ourselves, not about the outside noise in every aspect, especially in the final stretch of the season.”

“But the criticism is inevitable because you never know what will happen in the end. But we respect every opponent no matter who we are facing.” 

“We believe that we can overcome it and do it again and again – when you’ve been a champion, the hunger only gets stronger.” 

“The intention is to win every event. Like the first event, the Community Shield, we already won. We always find ways to improve ourselves.”
