After a 1-2 defeat away at Aston Villa, Manchester City striker Harland faced up to the challenge and spoke freely in an official club interview, giving an insight into the game as well as expressing his sincere thanks to the fans for their support.
Facing the question, Harland said bluntly, "We are still far from our best, and our recent form has been up and down. For me personally, I know I need to take it to the next level, work harder and give it my all. Just because I'm not performing up to expectations at the moment doesn't mean I'm going to stop. I firmly believe that perseverance and hard work are the key and I will continue to maintain my fighting spirit. The team is facing a lot of tests at the moment, but the charm of soccer lies in its ups and downs. I firmly believe that as long as we are united, we will be able to turn the tide against all odds and find the joy of victory."
Talking about the support of the fans, Harland was moved to say, "The passion and support of the fans has warmed my heart. Whether we win or lose, the support of the fans is the driving force for us to move forward. At this difficult time, we need the support of the fans more than ever. The cohesion and strength of a team is most evident in difficult times. For this, we can only thank you. Your support is the biggest motivation for us to move forward, and we will continue to fight for our fans, for ourselves, and to turn the tide and win more."
