Manchester City and Algeria star Rayan Ait-Nouri recently gave his thoughts on the club’s recent slump in results and urged his side to do better in their upcoming matches.
City suffered an embarrassing 3-1 defeat against Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, a result that followed a 2-0 loss against arch rivals Manchester United in the Premier League last Saturday.
Speaking on City’s latest set-back, the talented left-back believes that the Citizens squad unity will aid them in their next couple of matches.
“To be honest today it was a tough game. We tried to push in the first-half and tried to score a goal. We made some mistakes in the first-half and they scored two goals,” the defender said after the Bodo/Glimt tie, as per Tribal Football.
“For sure we still will be together and we need to be ready for next week because we have one more game against Galatasaray at home.
“For sure we will prepare for the game against Wolves this Saturday and will try to give our best for the next week.
“We have one game against Galatasaray next week. We need to be ready, to prepare for the game in training.
“For sure, we’re still together because we have an unbelievable group. We will hopefully make a great game next week.”
