“I still have four more years here”, said Aguero (via The Independent). “I think it was quite a good start for me”. I allow myself to feel satisfied for an hour or two hours after a game but the day after you worry about what is going to happen.

Striker Sergio Aguero will also be an absentee for the visit of Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium as he is still serving a suspension for elbowing West Ham United’s Winston Reid.
Aguero scored a hat trick to lead City to a 4-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in their rescheduled Group C opener that was washed out Tuesday because of torrential rain before kickoff at Etihad Stadium. We have to be proud to play in this competition. “When it doesn’t happen they become injured and when that happens other players take their positions”. We can not forget where we are – in September.
“I’m really happy with the new manager”, he told reporters.
Called into the side at short notice following injury to David Silva, the former Borussia Dortmund man slotted straight in alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling in midfield and showed no signs of rustiness.
He said: “We still need more to come back and fight – but the way they played in these six, seven games – I am so confident I am going to enjoy this year”.
“It’s a flawless day for me, to wait such a long time, it’s brilliant to play and have a good first game”, Gundogan told BT Sport following the match.
“All we can do is play better every time and then people will say, “I spent 90 minutes there and I had fun”. I didn’t see the doctor or David.
“In a few weeks the best football player ever is coming here, with Luis Suarez and Neymar and the wonderful team of Barcelona”.
AFC Bournemouth will be huge underdogs with the bookmakers for this game, particularly after the two meetings last season saw the Cherries concede 9, whilst scoring just once.
Guardiola is in his first season at City and wants the fans to start afresh with the Champions League to give the team the best possible chance of winning the competition. I’ve watched many of their games.
He continued: “All we can do is work a lot”.
“Obviously the Champions League is not easy, but our objective is to try to get where we got last season – the semi-final”.

“We worry about Bournemouth’s strikers, how they are going to play – what they are going to do”.
