Claudio Bravo warns Man City not to become distracted by early season success
Thursday 21 December 2017 13:58, UK
Manchester City must not become distracted by their accomplishments if they are to win any silverware this season, says Claudio Bravo.
Bravo was the hero for City on Tuesday night after he saved Riyad Mahrez's penalty to ensure they won 4-3 on penalties and progressed to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Pep Guardiola has since played down the possibility of his side winning the quadruple, saying they must continue to take the season game-by-game and Bravo has supported the message of his manager.
"We haven't won anything so far, we haven't lifted any trophy so anything we've done doesn't matter until we win. We must stay calm, keep working hard," he said.
"We must believe it will come but I don't think we should look that far away, keep it step by step, game by game and competition to competition and at the end of the year the goals will arrive.
"The most important thing is being consistent, working hard day in, day out and keep focusing every game and keep beating records. It's important to be strong every time you play and that helps you achieve your ambition."
The Chile international has played understudy to Ederson this season, only making one appearance in the league, but insists he remains focused on proving his quality to Guardiola.
"You have to be professional, work hard, get ready, don't relax and always be ready for the manager," said the Chile international.
"I'm really happy, the team is doing great. Even if I compete or not we enjoy everything. It's a lot of hard team work and you must work hard and be ready to play when situations like today happen. It's all of us, we need to keep working
and have the chance to play."
