Premier League: Man City has the spirit to weather the storm, says Dias
The HinduDefender Ruben Dias said Manchester City has the ability to recover from its rough patch, which saw the defending champion fall to its fourth consecutive Premier League defeat at Liverpool on Sunday. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a 2-0 win at Anfield which left City 11 points behind Arne Slot’s side in fifth place. City, which lost four league games in a row for the first time since 2008, is winless in its last seven matches in all competitions, a run that includes six defeats and a 3-3 draw at home against Feyenoord in the Champions League. “That is, even though it was a difficult moment I did see a lot of character and I did see the fans behind us and that is the only way we are going to go through it.” City, which has won six of the last seven Premier League titles, has been hit hard by injuries to key players such as Rodri, Mateo Kovacic and John Stones but manager Pep Guardiola has been able to guide the side through injury crises in previous seasons.
