DBasia.news – The excitement of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium did not affect Manchester City midfielder. Kevin De Bruyne. According to him, Man City will continue to play offensively as usual at Spurs headquarters.
The Citizens will travel to the headquarters of Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the 2018-2019 Champions League quarter-finals, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Wednesday (10/4) WIB. At that time, The Lilywhites will use the new stadium.
Tottenham’s new stadium is rated as one of the best in Europe. In the debut match, the stadium with a capacity of 62,000 spectators witnessed Harry Kane and his mates beat Crystal Palace 2-0.
Pressure from Tottenham supporters could be a pressure for Manchester City. However, De Bruyne didn’t really care.
“I don’t care about the stadium. I care about the team we will fight,” De Bruyne said as reported by Four Four Two.
“Everyone talks about the stadium like something special. All teams have stadiums. Everyone has supporters. They are ready for that,” he added.
“I don’t think there will be a difference. They might be a little more excited, but in the end it’s just a stadium with supporters.”
“If they play at Wembley with 80,000 spectators or there with 62,000, it will be the same. This will be a challenging match, but I think we will be fine,” De Bruyne said.
Manchester City won 11 of the last 16 matches against Tottenham in the Premier League. Meanwhile, this is the first meeting in European competition.
