Stevan Jovetic has no doubt he can become a fans'
favourite at Manchester City after enduring a frustrating start to his time at
the club.
The Montenegro striker joined the Premier League title
contenders in a big-money move from Fiorentina in July, but has been plagued by
injuries in his first season in England.
Jovetic has started just three games for Manuel
Pellegrini's side and his only two goals came in a League Cup thrashing of
Wigan Athletic back in September.
The 24-year-old returned from injury to take his place on
the substitutes' bench for the victories against West Ham and Watford in the
last two games.
Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo have forged a prolific
partnership and Edin Dzeko has scored 16 goals in all competitions despite not
being a regular starter.
But Jovetic is convinced he can still make an impact as
City challenge for honours on four fronts.
"It's much easier when you play and score goals but
unfortunately for me it's not been a good way to start," he said.
"But you have to stay calm, to believe in yourself, like I did.
"I know I can do so many good things for this club.
I hope I will show that in the last four months until the end.
"We have a lot of games and I hope to get my chance,
and I hope to play well. Of course I've wanted to score but I also need to say
thank you to the guys.
"They've done so well in the Premier League and we
are playing Barcelona in the Champions League. There's a lot of games, so
hopefully we'll win a lot of trophies.
"I'm happy for the other strikers who have got the
goals. From now I want to get goals as well and get close to them,
"I had one problem, and then another, but that is
the past and I don't want to think about the past. I know my value and that the
fans will love me."
