Manchester City will challenge Nottingham Forest away in the 24th round of the Premier League. Manchester City defender Akanji accepted media interviews before the game.


Regarding joining Manchester City from Dortmund, Akanji said that they have many excellent players in their team, and it is conceivable that it is difficult for the coach to decide who to play. Akanji told himself that he was doing his best to get into the starting 11 . He believes that he has improved a lot with the team under Guardiola. They push him to a higher level every day and he gives his all for it. There are many excellent players around Akanji. He needs to keep up with the rhythm of the team and wants to show his strength in every training session.


Akanji also said that since he transferred from Borussia Dortmund, he has felt that the training sessions here are very intensive. Sometimes he feels very tired after only half an hour of training, because the team's training intensity is very high, and he needs to adapt. He feels good now and knows that he needs to perform at his best every day and that he can improve.


As for the match against Nottingham Forest, Akanji said that Nottingham Forest introduced many new players in the summer window, and their results also show that they have steadily improved in the past few games. Manchester City is playing away and the opponent is doing well, it is not an easy game.


Akanji said he came to the Premier League and understood that there are no easy games here. If you don't play your best in the game, you can lose to any team. So that's why they need to stay focused.


Akanji has yet to play in many pitches in the Premier League, so he is looking forward to this game. They'll see what's going on in the stadium and there might be a good atmosphere, but the most important thing is to get the three points in this game.
