Captain Vincent Kompany has backed Manchester City to win
four major trophies in a campaign, if they cannot do it this season.
City put one foot in the English League Cup final last week
when they thrashed West Ham 6-0 in the first leg of their semi-final; while
they qualified for the FA Cup fourth round with a 5-0 win over Blackburn Rovers
on Wednesday, sit second in the Premier League and remain in contention in the
UEFA Champions League.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini said City can become the first
English club to win those four competitions this season and, while Kompany
would not set a timeline, the Belgian defender remains confident they can do it
one day.
"We can't promise it will happen now, but eventually
it will have to happen," Kompany said on Thursday.
"We are the players at the moment who have been
chosen to do it. If it's not us then it will be other players.
"This club definitely has a target to win every
competition possible."
City's attacking prowess has been critical to their
success so far during the 2013-14 season with Pellegrini's side scoring their
99th goal in all competitions in the win over Blackburn.
Kompany has hailed Pellegrini's attacking focus in his
first season at City with the Chilean manager having replaced Roberto Mancini
at the Etihad.
"He's very offensive-minded and I think that's shown
in our results and the way we play," Kompany said.
"I think we have been one of the best teams to watch
in the Premier League so far."
