We can actually judge a team base on their previous performance and from past view Manchester city didn’t perform as expected both in premier league and champions league competition so it’s okay if people doubt their capacity for a second. For past times Manchester city have been performing excellent mostly in the premier league title race personally if a new team should win I’m not surprised because the competition will definitely be tough, I see a lot of good signing within and outside obviously expect something different this coming season.
All teams will definitely train their own abilities and that is something that is continuously strived for in achieving the best strength, in preparing when they will compete as well as Manchester City even though they have a strong team and a fairly capable coach, but everything can be outside the established path and it is true that the competition is the toughest for the Manchester City team and that is the main thing to overcome it but of course only time can answer it.
