Manuel Akanji: Tactics and Trophies

Manuel Akanji: Tactics and Trophies

By Man City

Manuel Akanji is our latest guest on the Official Man City Podcast. Our versatile defender joins journalist George Kelsey and ex-player Paul Dickov to talk through a range of topics. Recorded ahead of our FA Cup sixth round game with Newcastle United, Akanji discusses his route into football and how the sport has been an integral part of his life from a very early age. He chats about his quickfire move from Borussia Dortmund and how excited he was to join up with Pep Guardiola’s City. The 28-year-old reminisces about the Treble success of 2022/23 and how he will never tire of talking about that unbelievable achievement. The Swiss international looks back at key games en route to the UCL crown, including the semi-final home leg against Real Madrid and the showpiece final against Inter Milan. Our No.25 talks about his adaptability in being able to play numerous positions on the pitch including centre-half, right-back and the holding role in the middle of the park. He faces questions from fans, too, including his thoughts on fellow Swiss, Roger Federer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
