Aymeric Laporte is eager to send a message to their club’s neighbors who are going through a long run without large silverware.
What did Aymeric Laporte say?
The Man City player set his sights on a push against the rival Red Devils, reminding Man Utd fans that his team has won 10 trophies in the last four years while they don’t have any. The city has evolved into a PL team over the past decade, while their local rivals have struggled to replicate the success they have had under Ferguson since the Scot’s 2013 retirement. This is not lost on Aymeric, who have amassed eight winners’ medals since joining Manchester City from club Athletic in January 2018.
Aymeric expressed his disappointment at what he sees as their rivals’ desire to see Manchester City lose, hinting that they may be jealous of their success. Aymeric Laporte said that this is something they often notice. According to Laporte, they don’t think it’s normal that they always win something. Because if Aymeric is not mistaken, they have won 11 trophies in four years and that can annoy some people like their neighbors who won nothing.
That’s actually 10 trophies including three PL titles while Man Utd won nothing since the Europa League in May 2017. Aymeric Laporte added that they have many supporters and many people behind them. They are in the same city. They also spent a lot of money. This may upset some people. Everyone defends their own interests; Aymeric trusts Man City and hopes they will win many trophies this year.
This is an opportunity
Man City have a chance to add to their run before the season is out, with the PL, Champions League and FA Cup all on the line. Guardiola has two huge matches against the Reds, in the PL and FA Cup semi-finals, and a Champions League quarter-final against Atlético Madrid over the next month. Aymeric Laporte added that it’s a good challenge, but more than that, it’s an opportunity. They look at it as a chance to show that they are better than these other teams.
