MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Sergio Aguero says Manchester City won’t surrender in the race to catch Premier League leaders Chelsea because they know what it takes to snatch the title at the death.
Second-placed City could be 10 points behind leaders Chelsea when they kick-off against Newcastle at today because Jose Mourinho’s team will already have finished their match against Burnley at Stamford Bridge earlier in the day.
Aguero memorably scored in stoppage-time against QPR on the last day of the 2011-12 season to earn City the Premier League title.
And with 13 matches still to play the Argentina striker says Manuel Pellegrini’s champions will continue to fight.
“I believe this will be one of the most highly contested Premier Leagues of recent years and we will be giving everything to retain our title,” Aguero said.
“Why not? We were worse off in past seasons we still won and I was always convinced we’d be champions.
“There is a long way to go and a lot of games to play so anything is possible. Right now, it’s anyone’s title and it’s not just two sides competing – there are many teams that are still in the hunt.
“Arsenal and Manchester United are back on their feet, Southampton are not far behind and Liverpool and Spurs have all shown good form, too.” — AFP
