February is when the real things start” Star sends warning to Premier League title rivals
Manchester City centre-back Ruben Diaz has issued a dire warning to rivals that the Premier League title race is far from over.
City are third after 19 games, 5 points behind leaders Liverpool (45 games), but have a game in hand.
Pep Guardiola’s side beat Sheffield United 2-0 last weekend after a 3-1 win over Everton in midweek. With the imminent return of the injured Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Jeremy Doku, City are expected to take control of the title race.
They face FA Cup defenders at home to Huddersfield Town on Sunday (January). 7) Diaz said the following on the club’s podcast (according to the Manchester Evening News):”I think we’re starting to feel like ourselves again.
After what we did last season, we had to figure out the little things that allowed us to do what we did before.” We always go back to normal. When you feel relaxed, a shot suddenly comes out.
There are still many planes and much work to be done. Diaz went on to say that February will be a crucial month for City if they are to survive in all three competitions.”The real work will start in February.
Obviously, you have to be able to feel that pressure. But in the end real decisions are made. “If we’re in a good position in the Championship in February and we’re still in a good position in all competitions, the big games will come quickly.”
City’s only game this month is against Newcastle United on January 13.
