The head coach of Manchester City, Roberto Mancini, admitted that defending the title of English champions is almost impossible.
Yesterday, the "citizens" suffered a painful defeat away against Southampton 3-1. They are currently 9 points behind the leading "Man Utd" team, although "United" still has one game in hand.
"I think we now have a 10% chance of defending the title of Premier League champions," the Italian told ESPN. "I don't think we will be able to reclaim the first place."
R. Mancini also added: "In the match against Southampton, we missed the central defensive duo Kompany and Nastasić, we needed them."
