Manchester United v Manchester City: Weaker teams decide to try harder in games with us... - The Independent

Roberto Mancini, the Manchester City manager, is aggravated by the apoor mentalitya of many Premier League edges whose concern with experiencing Manchester United has helped Sir Alex Fergusonas part to determine a lead in the Premier League. The Italian, who asserted that City will be a100 per centa in the title race and have reached the Champions League quarter-finals had he got all the players that he called for in last summeras transfer industry, said these factors whom United had swept aside were a different idea when his membership experienced them. aNo one performs well against United since they only play with fear,a he explained, before tonightas derby at Old Trafford. aI donat think [other teams] play 100 per cent [against United]. Their mentality is poor for the reason that game. They think they could do just rather I donat think that's true. If you play with mentality, in football you can defeat every team.a Mancini, who spent three days in Abu Dhabi last week, faces a determining week in his City tenure, with tonightas fit and Sundayas FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea giving proof of if the team are actuallyA developing under his control. Although the clubas new ex-Barcelona management a' their chief executive, Ferran Soriano, and their manager of football, Txiki Begiristain, a' need to create the philosophy of natural growth they have produced from Catalonia, Mancini still sees the exchange market as the key to reclaiming the name United are almost certain to clinch. aI donat know [how many we shall sign]. It is hard to say,a said Mancini who missed on Robin van Persie, Eden Hazard, Daniele de Rossi and Javi Martinez last summer. aYou want one player, maybe two or three groups want exactly the same player and once you may take this or take another player. After, it's difficult.a Having cited losing of Mario Balotelli as one of the reasons why City have scored 20 goals too few, Mancini said that the clubas failure to reach the latter stages of either the Champions League or Europa League damaged his hopes of signing a premier striker in January. aWithout international opposition, it was better we left it for the summer,a he explained, his tone more diplomatic towards Begiristain than Brian Marwood, theA former de facto basketball manager. Area should offer to get, with Joleon Lescott, Aleksandar Kolarov, Scott Sinclair and Maicon prone to keep and Samir Nasrias future unclear, although Barcelonaas curiosity about their captain Vincent Kompany gift suggestions difficult. A six-year contract was signed by the Belgian, one of the bedrocks of the side, last year but that'll not deter BarAa. Competition is faced by city from Real Madrid within their quest for Napolias Edinson Cavani, who has a A52 million release condition. Mancini stated that second place and an FA Cup might represent a great year. aYeah. I think perhaps you canat get every year,a he explained. aLast year United didnat get any such thing a' only the Charity Shield a' nevertheless they continued to boost their group. This could happen. You canat get annually. This really is difficult in England. Because of this, I believe we have to do better next year.a Last seasonas 6-1A win wasn't an immediate drive, he added. Shock could get there and believe that aOkay we beat 6-1 to them and this will be theA samea but every game will be difficult,a he explained. aThe game we played at Etihad Stadium [in December and lost 3-2], we deserved to win. Like United, we are a solid team. There's no huge difference. We've been missing important goals in games we deserves to win quickly like West Ham, Chelsea away, Sunderland, Arsenal in the home. Since we didnat score enough targets we lost plenty of details. This is the difference. Probably we've maybe not performed like last year. Sometimes we played perfectly, often only so-so.a Ferguson, who said he expects to have Wayne Rooney back from the groin strain he endured on England responsibility, repeated his announcement that his investment in youth will enable United to cope with Cityas threat, even though he expects them to out-spend him this summer.
