At 7:30 tonight, the focus match of the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Tottenham at home. Before the game, Malmush accepted an interview with the media.
◉ About in-squad competition
"Competition is very important to all of us, and it is a healthy competition for the team. No matter who starts, we certainly hope that the team will succeed. If it is a substitute, you have to go all out. Such competition will continue to improve the overall level in training. We always know that someone is ready to take your position at any time, which will make you better. This is a benign push."
◉ This summer, Manchester City further strengthened the lineup, bringing in Reindez, Ait Nuri, Sherkey, Trafford and Bettinelli.
"We have seen their abilities since the first day of training. Ait Nuri is very skilled at the feet and has a strong defense. Reindes is an all-round midfielder who has a great impact on the offensive end. Serki has a strong ability to handle the ball in a small space and is extremely creative. Of course, Trafford played very well and saved a key goal. We know their strength very well and are very happy that they join the team. Hope we can continue to improve as a whole."
◉ At the same time, Marmush is also looking forward to returning to home again, although Tottenham will be a big test facing the new season under the leadership of new coach Frank.
"We are in good shape. The training is excellent, I am very excited and can't wait to play. It's always a special thing to be able to play at home, hoping for a great game. We studied the characteristics of Tottenham, and they have changed their head coach and some of the lineups. It will be a tough battle, but I am very confident that if we can show our strength, it will be difficult to beat."
"We will play games one by one. Over time, we will gradually grow and become stronger. We have a lot of good players. In a club like Manchester City, the goal is always the championship."
