Gundogan Can’t Wait to Play the New Season with Man City

DBasia.news – Manchester City key player, Ilkay Gundogan, admitted that he couldn’t wait to play in the 2018-2019 season. Gundogan felt the victory against Chelsea will boost the motivation for The Citizens.

Manchester City started the 2018-2019 season well by the 2-0 winning from Chelsea in the final round of Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, Sunday (5/8). In that victory, Sergio Aguero was the star with two decisive goals.

But, Man City path to this season is still long to go. Moreover, Kevin de Bruyne and friends are the defending champion of the Premier League. However, the Champions League trophy is only a dream.

“I wouldn’t say it was necessary to give us confidence, but you never really know what to expect in the first weeks when the season starts and the important games start,” he told the club’s official website.

“You do not know 100 percent what your level is, so that’s why, ahead of next week, it was a great test for us – even though it was for a trophy.”

“It was the last test before the Premier League season and, at the end, we feel ready right now. We can’t wait for the season to start,” the player added.

Manchester City have to visit Arsenal home in Emirates Stadium during the first match of 2018-2019 Premier League on Sunday (12/8). Last season, The Citizens got two victories in the Premier League.
