team have put their past behind and are willing to take on the German side, the belief found
It feels very different from a round of the UEFA Cup against FC Midtjylland to qualify or when Manchester City were drawn to play EB Streymur, a people of the Faroe Islands and supporters rented a boat Fishing for the trip.
A trip to Bayern Munich, the spotlight on the stage of the Allianz Arena, is far from the city previous European tours - like when he went to Belgium to play Sporting Lokeren, the press box was a double-decker bus parked behind one of the objectives, or the sad night in Poland, where the city is out of the UEFA Cup Groclin Grodzisk in a remote farming village with a population of 13,000. The city that year was called by way of fair play. As Kevin Keegan, his manager at the time, said:
"We came through the back door and go through the back door."
The city today feel like a completely different beast, arrived in Germany, which exudes a kind of confidence that could forget the time it will be only his second appearance in the Champions League. The director, Roberto Mancini, spoke to the defeat of Bayern, who won four times, as if waiting for something else. "Our lives have changed," said Mancini. "Sometimes in football, life can change. We too are a big club now. "
Mancini spoke of him as a "long journey", but it is likely that only followers of the club and behind the scenes, the survivors of previous regimes - loyal staff, including former secretary and now president life of Bernard Halford, serving nearly 40 years - including the way wild and eccentric who led the club at this point
A Champions League against Bayern is a powerful high points. For bass, look no further than the slope of the fat that was what was once known as the old Third Division. Mancini spoke about 13 years the day the city drew 2-2 in the town of Northampton. Many people in Manchester, beerily make the most of Oktoberfest here, you might find in breweries near Moss Rose, Sincil Bank Bootham Crescent for 13 years. Macclesfield was the destination, rather than Munich.
The challenge is formidable team Mancini. Bayern lead the Bundesliga with six wins in their opening league match of seven years. They scored 21 goals for and only one, and when it comes to the Champions League, this will be his game 151st connection with the birth of both. Their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, has not conceded a goal in 838 minutes and there is a growing feeling in Germany, Jupp Heynckes is currently something special.
- Except
- Mancini is a new era in the city where they bow to no one and no inferiority David and Goliath that once may have felt disappeared. They are there, according to his manager, with one goal: to win
was a bold speech Mancini, in his statement after the 1-1 draw against Naples the city could come to Germany and placed in a dominant position in Group A.
If so, would the city at night to announce his presence in the major European painting. But Bayern were oozing confidence, too. Jerome Boateng, the German international has signed in the city during the summer, spoke of his former club lacks some of the qualities of Bayern. "They have the same sense of unity [Bayern]," he said. "They are strong, technically and physically. But I do not see the end because there are better teams. We are better, for example." Ribery to take in the city was more than a courtesy. "It will be a real challenge for us," he said. "From what I've seen so far this season Manchester City are on a par with Manchester United and that says it all. This is a top European team and I was very impressed by them. "
