Everyone in the club wants to win this competition, I still feel that we have the ability and quality to change things. I told the players last week,” We are still alive, “and this is important.
“Last week was not decisive, we need to respond. I focus a lot on my team [everything] About [Nick Cushing]. I don’t feel any difference in preparing this game. We need to believe and be confident. I just want us to attack the game and we have no regret at the end. “
Cushing seeks to improve the midst of a strain of competition
While City holds an advantage in the Champions League, interim Nick Kushing is looking for an improvement in WsL loss on Sunday against Chelsea – although he indicated the stress he put in his team by the meetings.

The final revenge task in Man City
Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:
If we analyze the long game, Chelsea will be 2-1
“There was an amazing scalp 2-0, as Vivian Medima gave the UEFA Champions League upper city. What a trip.
“The message is now supposed to change. Nick Kushing will repeat his team’s squad that previous meetings, three in the past 12 days, no.
“The city’s hopes have ended in the city long ago (although it is now facing an arduous battle to qualify for the Champions League next season, unless they win it, of course), and while the silver tools in the league were sweet, the opportunity to remove Chelsea in Europe – may be considered the cup that they yearn for more.
“Kushing was the one who led City to the semi -finals of the Champions League in 2016/2017 and 2017/18 and the possibility of securing a third while Chelsea would definitely be a major motivation.”
Never write Chelsea
Sky Sport’s Laura Hunter:
“Chelsea, who advanced in all the five previous European finals, must turn a deficit to maintain this impressive record sound.
“This is not aside familiar with a loss or is especially used to the return of return. Does this make them more or less dangerous?
“Sonya Bombastor prefers control and power, however, the result will require more than one hand braking approach,” said last week. I know we have quality to reverse the situation, but we will need to be at our best. “
“Its start that was not defeated by 28 games, as the Blues coach could have ended by MIEDEMA’s Double in the reverse leg, but it is excluded from the Knights mentality specified to be ashamed of the challenge. It would be interesting to know whether Chelsea has been prepared to chase or stay patient in its follow -up.
“The Bombastor Leon team fled the first leg loss to overcome Juventus on their way to the Champions League glory in 2021/22 – it can be done.
“The last stage of this four -part epic is completely prepared.”
