Mahrez does not think to leave Manchester City

Algerian international Riyad Mahrez, the English football star of Manchester City, confirmed that he never thinks about leaving his club, noting that winning the Champions League title is a dream for any player.

Mahrez said in an interview with French TV "RMC Sport", today, Sunday, that he will remain with Manchester City until the end of his contract at least, and that he is looking forward to ending his football career in the English Premier League.

He added, "After the end of the current season, I will have two more seasons left with Manchester City. I am very comfortable with this team and there is no reason to think about changing the atmosphere, nor do I plan at all to retire with the French club Olympique de Marseille."

And he said: "It is true that the first season with City was difficult for me as I had to adapt to the style of play of the team and the coach, especially since I came from the Leicester team, which relied on counter-attacks, while things are different in City, where players have to keep the ball and return quickly." To retrieve it in the event of its loss with advanced pressure on the opponent's players. "

Mahrez, 30, joined Manchester City in July 2018 on a five-year contract.

Mahrez appeared happy with the titles he won with Manchester City, given the difficulty of competing with big teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, despite his admission that losing the English Premier League title last season to Liverpool was a sad thing for everyone in City.

The Algerian international expected a difficult confrontation with Chelsea in the Champions League final, pointing out that Chelsea's victory over his team twice this season does not give him a moral precedence.

He said, "The match against Chelsea will not end with a score of 5 / zero or 4 / zero, but will be decided by minor parts. It will be a difficult match for both parties, technically and tactically. We still have two confrontations in the League competition and then we will start preparing for it."

He mentioned, "To be crowned the Champions League title is a dream for any player. What is missing for me is this title and also the World Cup. We must focus and give everything we have on the day of the match against Chelsea."

Mahrez revealed that he does not think about the Ballon d'Or despite his brilliance this season, and that he does not like personal comparisons, describing his compatriot Rabah Majer, who won the Champions League title in 1987 with Porto, as an Algerian football legend.
