Manchester City's intention to make big changes on the side that beat Manchester United on Wednesday night in the Carling Cup tie to the wolf, although Owen Hargreaves will not be able to take part in what was apparently an ideal game for others in his rehabilitation, he was overtaken by a calf strain suffered in training.
The club took pains to emphasize that this is a routine accident could happen to anyone and not a case of Hargreaves decompose or suffer a relapse. "Owen is almost more or less at the moment but will be unable to play because he has made of three or four days," said David Platt, assistant city manager. "This is the kind of reproach, which is [up] comment on any other player, and we expect Owen to be back in training a day or two and get back in operation next week. Saturday could come in around a little early for him, but we're not looking at the Carling Cup games to facilitate recovery.
"It 'a member of the team now. As the international break, he trained as well as anyone else, and we do not consider the case anymore. He could have easily made the derby team, but it could be Stefan Savic and Adam Johnson, and ended to watch the stand. drawback for the quality of the alternatives for each position is that the good players end up losing, but it is not true that we have labeled Owen, or someone else, until our team of Carling Cup Carling Cup We have the team as such, we have only 24 or 25 players to choose from, as we see fit. "
Platt said that the result on Sunday, and the position of commander of the city in the league has produced a certain amount of euphoria in the camp, but dismissed talk that aims to win all four trophies - the Premier League, FA Cup , League Cup and Champions League - as premature. "I think it's a question that is asked when they all go well or just had some good results, but we are only nine games into the season in the league and we just won our first Champions League match," he said he said.
"History has shown that it is very difficult to win all four modes. What I will say, and I know that Roberto Mancini turns me on is that we intend to compete in all four trophies. We will do our best in every one and then see where we are at the end of the season.
"The command is interested in winning, I was surprised how disappointed I was when we left last season League Cup sent a weakened part because there were some injuries, and thought it might be a blessing. Disguised long-term could have an impact on our goal of finishing in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. But Robert said he wanted to win and was upset because we did not. It is greedy, if you will, all he wants to do is win. There is not one of setting priorities. "
Perhaps in an attempt to keep the players' feet on the ground, Platt refused to look after Sunday's derby as a benchmark or a turning point in faith, rather than being simply the result of continuous improvement since late return of last season. "We have been aware for some time that the team has come together," he said.
"Criticism soon as we were a group of people has not been totally unfair, because many players have come at a [time] short and it takes time to get used to new colleagues and a new environment. But there was a time last season where people in the team began to realize what other players did, and since late January after it began to be better and better. It's the same with people.
"David Silva and Mario Balotelli had to be getting all the attention for the moment, but consistency has been outstanding for some time now. Mario, in particular, was only young when it happened. We have seen fleeting glimpses of his talent last season, but his concentration level have steadily improved and we can all see the results. "
