In a key match in the first round of the Champions League, Manchester City shook hands with Inter Milan at home with a score of 0-0. After the match, Manchester City defender Akanji was interviewed by the media and gave an in-depth analysis of the tough match and his team's performance.
Akanji began by expressing his respect for Inter Milan, which he believes is a very good team, especially in the defensive end, showing a very high standard, leaving City with very limited space. He mentioned that it was no coincidence that City met Inter Milan in the Champions League final last season, as Inter Milan have always played very good soccer, and even though they went out of the Champions League earlier last season, it didn't cover up their strength.
Accepting the result of the match, Akanji believes that it is always challenging to play against strong teams in a high-level competition like the Champions League. He emphasized the need for the team to remain focused and patient in the upcoming matches, as every game is crucial.
Additionally, Akanji talked about the team's new jersey. He said that he really likes the team's fourth jersey and revealed that there was also a hiccup in the game - he almost passed the ball to the linesman because he mistook the linesman for teammate Bernardo Silva. The hiccup was a little embarrassing, but it showed Akanji's focus and dedication to the game. He is looking forward to playing more matches in this shirt in the future and contributing to the team.
