Bratislava will host Manchester City in the second round of the UEFA Champions League stage on October 2 at 3:00 a.m. Beijing time. In the pre-match press conference, Bratislava's captain, Weiss, who used to come from Manchester City's youth training, talked about his expectations for the match and reminisced about his youth training days at Manchester City.
Weiss said he has the fondest memories of his time at City. At a young age, he was promoted to the first team with the squad, which was a remarkable achievement. Although his appearances became fewer and fewer as time went on due to the influx of new players and the arrival of Roberto Mancini, he has always paid attention to City's matches. He admits that City was his first club and in his opinion they play the best soccer in the world. Watching City games is a pleasure for him and he has always followed the club and it will always remain in his heart.
Speaking about the upcoming showdown with Manchester City, Weiss said that he is looking forward to it. He knows that this match will mean a lot to him as he will have the chance to step on the once familiar stadium again and face his teammates who used to play alongside him. He is looking forward to showing his strength in the game and getting the victory for Bratislava.
In addition, Weiss recalled where he lived in Manchester. He lived in a place called Winchester Park in Didsbury and became neighbors with a lady named Barbara and her husband Les, along with their children and two dogs. He spent some of his best memories there. Weiss said he left home at a very young age and it was very difficult at first, but with the help of his parents and everyone at City, he got through it. He is very grateful for that because that experience made him stronger and more mature.
Weiss also mentioned that leaving his family at a young age is difficult for any player, but it has made him who he is today. He thanked City's youth training for the opportunities and growth he has been given, as well as those who have helped him. He looks forward to repaying all those who have supported him with his performance in the upcoming matches.
