Regarding the issue of conceding goals: I need to analyze it carefully and work hard to improve.


Manchester City will host AEK Athens at the Etihad Stadium in the third round of the UEFA Champions League. England defender Goy stated that he will carefully analyze and strive to improve the team's recent struggles with conceding goals.


In the second round of the Champions League, Manchester City, after falling behind, lost 2-4 to defending champions Paris Saint-Germain thanks to two goals from Haaland. Earlier in the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Ipswich Town 3-2, also thanks to goals from Foden and Haaland.


Manchester City defender Gueye said, "I wouldn't say conceding those goals is a major concern; we need to consider many factors. The team has a new manager, we are gradually adapting to each other, and there's the tactical system the manager wants us to use. Hopefully, over time, we can continue to learn and improve."


"Because there are so many matches, we have had a lot of meetings off the field and have watched the game footage repeatedly. We will find out what we can do better. For example, in the last game, I know I could have done better, but that's football."


"Whether it's practicing on the field or watching game videos off the field, we need to learn and absorb as much as possible. Whenever we have the opportunity, we will conduct targeted training and study tactics on the training ground. But at the same time, we also need to spend time recovering and resting to ensure that our bodies are in good condition for the next game," said Gey.


“We still have a lot of room for improvement, but when I look back at the goals we conceded last weekend, I think it was my responsibility. I need to analyze them carefully, work hard to improve, and strive to correct the problems in the next game.”


Goy also said, "We know that AEK Athens is a very strong team, and they won their first match. Therefore, we must be vigilant. They will definitely try to make the game difficult for us here. However, hopefully we can play well and take these 3 points."


In addition, Manchester City manager Maresca said at a press conference, "It's easy to evaluate Gue because he is a very good person. He is very humble. He may not consider himself a leader, but in our eyes, he is one of the team's leaders."


“There are many kinds of leaders. Some people express themselves more, while Gei is a more reserved leader, but he has the qualities needed to become a leader. He is one of the team’s four captains, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to become the team’s captain in the future.”
