The leader of the defending champions "Manchester City" David Silva warns his teammates that the team cannot afford to lose more points if they want to defend the title.
On Sunday, the team led by Roberto Mancini defeated the footballers of "Arsenal" in London, but did not close the gap with "Manchester United," as they beat the "Liverpool" team.
When asked if another loss by the team would ruin their hopes of defending the title of English champions, D.Silva replied: "Yes, because if we lose, the difference will increase to 10 points, and then it will be very difficult to change something."
"But if we continue to fight, we hope they will stumble. All we can do is try our best. This would put pressure on them, and if "Manchester United" lose points, we will get closer to them.
Of course, it can go the other way, because if we lose points, we will drift even further, but we cannot think about that. We have to continue the fight, and the champion's title is not yet won," said the European champion.
"Manchester City" was eliminated from the Champions League tournament at the group stage, unlike their neighbors, but D.Silva thinks this could be an advantage for them in the local front.
"This could be our advantage. They will play a crucial match before facing Real Madrid, while we only have the league. This could work in our favor," the Spaniard concluded.
