Mancini: ´We probably don´t have any chance´

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has again conceded the Premier League title is beyond his side this season.

City travel to bottom side Wolves this weekend five points adrift of Manchester United at the top of the table with four games remaining.

Mancini says strange situations in the past few weeks have cost his side and he insists his team has no chance of overtaking their rivals, despite still having to play a derby against their neighbours.

“I think that for me I have the same team but it is very difficult. Also I think after some situations I have seen in games in the last three of four weeks, it has made it really difficult for us,” Mancini said.

“I can say that very strange situations have happened, But for us it important to finish well this season.

“We want to try to win the next game, which I think will be difficult. Even though they (Wolves) are bottom of the table, I think it will be a tough game. We need to play like we did against Norwich.

“I think it is always better to have everything under control. It is better to stay close to the team on the top now (Manchester United).

“Five points are too much and I repeat, because of some strange situations that I don’t like, we probably don’t have any chance.

“I think there are some moments in the season where we made mistakes but when we lost Sergio (Aguero) for those two games that was a key moment because we got two draws but with Sergio we would have had a chance.

Mancini also gave his backing to striker Mario Balotelli, but admitted he did not know if the Italian would be at club beyond this season.

“Mario (Balotelli) is a City player 100 percent. A top player, a top City player. At the end of the season we will see what happens.”
