Gundogan is hopeful that his side can win the FA Cup for the first time since 2019. “It is a privilege,” Gundogan said about leading City on the field.“It is a privilege to be the captain of this group and this amazing club. It is a big honour.“It is another final and finals especially are played on a different level.“Obviously, I want to support my teammates as good as possible as the captain and hopefully we can make it.“It is very important. Obviously, there is a big tradition for this competition.“The fact that we haven’t won it since 2019 just raises more hunger to do it again, especially in a final that is a derby against our big rivals.“We are really looking forward to it.”The German international also said that he takes leadership on the field very seriously. “I feel like being elected as a captain at the beginning of the season was an appreciation for the way I am, the way I was behaving over the last few years and that is why I don’t feel like there is anything I need to do differently,” he said. “I just try to stay who I am, be the same guy and to try to treat everyone as fair as possible and try to be there if someone has an issue, whether that’s a player or a member of staff.“I take the responsibility very seriously and I try to live up to it every single day.”The midfielder also spoke about the challenge posed by United in the final. “First of all, they have individual quality. They are a team that compete and can beat probably anyone on a good day,” he said. “They have finished the season in a really good condition I think.“They have a manager that has been able to adjust a few things in the past few months.“It seems like they have a good fit at the moment with the way they play, their mentality and it is going to be a very difficult final.” Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ:مصری ڈریمز ڈیلکس
