Gary Neville names three players crucial to Man City hopes of winning treble
Gary Neville, a former Manchester United player and current pundit, has identified three players that he believes are crucial to Manchester City's chances of winning a treble this season. These players are Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Rodri. Neville made these comments after De Bruyne was not included in the matchday squad against Fulham due to leg issues that also led to his early substitution in the previous game against Arsenal. Neville stressed that keeping these players fit will be essential to City's chances of success over the next month.
Neville also drew a comparison between City's current squad and the United team that won the treble in 1999. He emphasized the importance of not looking too far ahead and taking each game seriously, just as they did in 1999. He pointed out that his team was always doubted until the very end, despite their impressive performances throughout the season. City, on the other hand, are superior to most of the teams they have left to play and will fancy their chances of winning all three trophies.
Neville believes that only injuries to Haaland, De Bruyne, and Rodri would significantly dent City's treble hopes. He expressed concern about De Bruyne's absence from the squad against Fulham, and speculated that it might be due to his recent injury issues. Neville is keeping his fingers crossed that nothing happens to these three players that could harm City's chances of winning the treble.
The pundit also acknowledged the emotional aspect of football and how it could affect a team's performance. He cited the example of a team galvanizing themselves in their home stadium to achieve something exceptional. Neville believes that City's superiority over most of their opponents and their good form will give them the confidence they need to win all three trophies this season. However, he cautioned against complacency and emphasized the importance of taking each game seriously.
