Kompany Confident City Can Finish In Style
Thursday, 8th May 2014 16:11

Vincent Kompany is confident that City can finish their season in style and avoid a repeat of the nerve-jangling finish of 2012. City head in to their final game of the season at home to West Ham and Barring a record breaking thrashing of Newscastle by Liverpool they will only need a point to lift the title.

Kompany hopes the experience of the dramatic finish in 2012 will help guide them through this time around.

The City captain told The Independant: "We have been in this situation before.

"That gives you that little bit of time to take a deep breath and keep an overview of the situation.

"Two years ago it felt very full on, the whole game. There were a lot of emotions involved - scoring the first goal, going down - there were too much emotions involved.

"I think this year we will hopefully only have to show our emotions at the end of the game.

"There is no guarantee, that is one thing we have learned, but we have won a lot of games at the Etihad.

"We just need to put ourselves back in the mindset that we can carry on winning games here.

"I am sure Liverpool players and fans will still hope as well, so therefore we just need to do our job."

Pellegrini has called on his team and finish in style sticking to the attacking principles that have been their hallmark throughout the campaign.

Kompany intends to adhere to that with the thought of a draw being sufficient not under consideration.

"Everyone wants a win, and that is what we are going to play for. That is the right approach.

"We need to stay focused and put in one of those performances again that will hopefully give us the title on Sunday.

"We now have three days - stay calm, rest and recover for what should be the most important game of the season."

City, have only featured at the top of the table due to having games in hand but they appear to have claimed first place at just the right time, however, and Kompany knows that is all that matters.

The Belgian said: "It has never been a case where we have been able to measure ourselves against the other teams because we were always two or three games down on people.

"But it is all about the last game of the season. If after the game against West Ham we are top of the league everyone will be pleased."
