At 20:30 GMT, Manchester City will embark on an away journey to face Villa in the 17th round of the Premier League. On the eve of the match, midfielder B Seat opened up to the Manchester Evening News about the team's recent situation and his longing for the upcoming Christmas.
Facing his team's consecutive losses, B Seat was blunt: "We are not used to consecutive defeats. City's standards have been high since our glory days eight or nine years ago, but now we seem to be at a low ebb." Nonetheless, he has no doubt about the team's potential: "Each of us knows that we can do better, after all, that's the bottom line of four consecutive Premier League titles. We will fight to the end, work tirelessly and unite to meet the challenge."
Mr. B. emphasized that the team must stick to the style and principles of the game, while putting in more effort: "Our style and principles are unshakeable. Although injuries have brought us challenges, they must not be used as an excuse. We have to work together, adapt to adversity, improve ourselves, take responsibility and put smiles back on the faces of our fans."
Talking about the upcoming Christmas break, B Seat looked particularly excited: "It's rare to have a week where you don't have to run around in matches! Pep Guardiola has given us the opportunity to relax and share the time with our families. It's a great relief for me because soccer does put us under a lot of pressure and challenges. Spending time with my family allows me to take a break from soccer and enjoy this unique moment."
B also shared his love of Christmas and his joy of being involved in the community: "I love Christmas and this time of year with my family is incredibly precious. It's also a special gift to help children and City fans celebrate Christmas. The local community organizations do a fantastic job of enhancing the quality of life for residents and we are proud to be involved and contribute to the community."
In conclusion, B Seat said that the team is fully prepared for Saturday's thrilling match at Villa Park: "Although the holiday is crucial for us, we are well aware that Saturday's match will be a hard-fought battle. We will give it our all and try to win."
