City 目的（とする） for 青年 Cup glory

City's kids are looking to 配達する the club's second 青年 Cup 勝利 in four years when they take on 物陰／風下d 部隊d at the Etihad Stadium on Friday night.

Up to Thursday morning, City had sold 17,500 tickets for a 衝突／不一致 that has a 最大限 capacity 始める，決める at 20,000.

Ben Wilkinson's Under 18s will want to follow in the footsteps of the Class of 2020. Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and James McAtee got the goals in a thrilling 3-2 勝利，勝つ over Chelsea and the trio have since gone on to impress in the 首相 League.

Tommy Doyle has shone at Wolves too, while Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Liam Delap 定期的に earn England Under-21 承認. Levi Colwill was a noticeable 指名する on the Chelsea team sheet on the night.

The 偉業／利用するs of those 伴う／関わるd 支援する then 供給するs その上の incentive for Wilkinson's 味方する when they go into a home final, with a sizeable に引き続いて 推定する／予想するd from over the Pennines.

While this is 物陰／風下d' first 外見 in a final since 1997, City's 学院 are geared up to 勝利，勝つ トロフィーs - but do make sure that parents are aware of the 堅い road into professional football too.

Inside the 学院 building at the club's training ground, there are messages on the 塀で囲む to families, asking if whether their child 得点する／非難する／２０ing a hat-trick is a reflection on their parenting. Underneath it then asks if, in fact, the boy or girl's personality traits ? humble, respectful - is 現実に a better 計器 of that.

City 船長／主将 shunned 部隊d

As Doyle did in 2020, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey will captain the Under 18s for a final that is 存在 streamed on FA Player. The central defender has been at City since he was seven - and 明らかにする／漏らすd that he had the 選ぶ of 地元の clubs when scouted playing for Deighton in Huddersfield.

'I was in between teams: Everton, City, Manchester 部隊d,' Simpson-Pusey said. 'I didn't like it at City at the start and I went to 部隊d. I liked it at 部隊d because all they did was play 小型の games and it wasn't really proper training.

'My mum ended up getting advice off those who have been in football and asked what would 利益 me more. They said go to City because they did proper training 開会／開廷／会期s to help the player technically and 個々に.'

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey's (left) 決定／判定勝ち（する） to plump for a Man City 未来 may 証明する 部隊d's loss

That has proven a smart 決定／判定勝ち（する）. Simpson-Pusey is one who is asked to train up with Guardiola's first-team and has now started 試みる／企てるing the John 石／投石するs 役割 in a couple of 最近の games. He's also operated as a 選び出す／独身 防御の midfielder as City look to broaden the 18-year-old's horizons.

'It's becoming second nature,' he 追加するd. 'Growing up I used to watch Sergio Ramos because I like his 侵略. I have been watching Ruben Dias, he is such a good leader and is 積極的な on and off the ball and 石／投石するs because of the way he plays.

'With the 青年 Cup final, you are remembered in a way because it is such a big tournament in England, it's 奮起させるing to see all the previous City players playing first team f ootball.'

Haaland 星／主役にするs 負かす／撃墜する '99 heroes

On the topic of 部隊d, a new Prime ビデオ docu-series on the '99 Treble is 存在 首相d at the Printworks on Thursday night. Andrew Cole and Dwight Yorke are の中で those 推定する／予想するd to …に出席する - but will be given a gentle 思い出の品 of City's own Treble 勝利 last season as they walk in.

There is a 抱擁する billboard of Erling Haaland above the Printworks' 入り口, an advert for 動きやすい game 衝突／不一致 of 一族／派閥s. 'He stole your トロフィーs,' is the tagline.

推定では its placement there is 単に a coincidence.

No 投票（する）s? Because it's all oh-so-normal for 最高の，を越す scorer

But there was one 利益／興味ing 詳細（に述べる） that 現れるd from the 投票（する）ing 過程: Haaland - 最高の，を越す scorer and almost 確かな to 勝利，勝つ 連続した Golden Boots - didn't receive a 選び出す／独身 指名／任命.

And that threw up a few thoughts. Firstly, that hitting 20 or more 首相 League goals in a （選挙などの）運動をする is now just considered normal for Haaland. An 推定する／予想するd glut from somebody who can （人命などを）奪う，主張する to be the best striker in the world. That just goes to 示す how good he is.

There was also the element of, if you were casting a 投票（する） for a City 星／主役にする, then the aforementioned midfielders have both played out of their 肌.

But, while 研究ing a piece on Haaland and Roy Keane this week, one source 申し込む／申し出d a theory about the FWA 投票（する）ing ? and the wider, general 見解（をとる） on the 23-year-old. They believed that Keane is one pundit who 与える／捧げるs to a narrative that Haaland is 単に a goalscorer ? and there is a suggestion that subconsciously creeps into people's minds when they are discussing him.

Phil Foden was the deserved 勝利者 of the Football Writers' 協会 Player of the Year?

But there were far より小数の 投票（する）s than 推定する／予想するd for 星／主役にする striker Erling Haaland this （選挙などの）運動をする

'It's now a ありふれた story that Erling needs to 得点する／非難する／２０ goals to 正当化する his place,' the source said. 'His best game last season was against 兵器庫, the 肩書を与える decider. He didn't 得点する／非難する／２０ until the last second and his 停止する play killed them.'

Haaland, 一方／合間, is believed to have spent some of his three days off 支援する home in Bryne as Keane's 最新の comments, calling him a 'spoilt brat' at the 週末, did the 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs.

Legend on the pitch, legend in the stands

David Silva was not the only one given a warm 歓迎会 at the Etihad last Saturday. The 38-year-old, 支援する at a game for the first time since he left the club during the pandemic, was gif ted a lifetime season card by chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak at the training ground on a day when his genius was remembered. Some of Guardiola's players appeared genuinely shocked to see the old master when they arrived for work.
