Manchester City teenager Mukasa: Adventure has made extraordinary seasons, and this is how I play football

May 4th News Recently, Manchester City U18 young player Mukasa was interviewed by "Marnnight". He said that making some "adventurous" actions in the game is his style and way of playing football.

In this season's Youth Champions League, it was Mukasana's casual and risky penalty that cost Manchester City. He put the ball on the penalty spot and pretended to retreat to prepare for a run, but suddenly shot early to try to disrupt the opponent's goalkeeper's rhythm, but this move did not work.

Manchester City then conceded in injury time and was eliminated, ending their dream of winning all the trophys in the top European youth competitions, but Mukasa insists that he will not change that.

Mukasa said in an interview with Mannwan: "This is part of my style of playing, and I like to take responsibility at critical moments. Regardless of the outcome, I would rather be myself, and that's how I play football, I didn't think too much, I just did it naturally."

If he can help Manchester City win the Youth FA Cup again on Monday, then this adventure is worth it. His performance has also attracted the attention of other clubs, and perhaps this confidence in trying new things will bring him a lot of benefits in the future.

There are also reports that Manchester City hopes to sign a new contract with him, which is not surprising. This season, Mukasa was left in the U18 echelon to ensure he can take more responsibilities and get a stable chance of playing instead of frequent in and out of the U21 echelon.

As a veteran of the U18 Premier League and Youth Cup team, Mukasa saw the value the coaches decided last summer. He scored 17 goals and sent 25 assists in 37 games, fully proving his strength. His coach Oliver Rice praised him as an "unbelievable" player and praised him for his ability to handle the ball.

Mukasa continued: "I completed the expected task and continued to stay in the U18 echelon, which is my second year here. This season I need to dominate the game more and help lead the team, and I think I have done it. It's a good season, and the continuous game has been very helpful for my self-confidence improvement and my relationship with the coach."

"The first six months were tough, especially in a club like Manchester City with different styles of play and high standards. Not only do I need to adapt to the club, but the staff also need to adapt to me, understand my characteristics and help me perform at the best. It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but after gradually adapting to the system and making some adjustments, the situation improved."

Recently, Mukasa's name has appeared more and more on the transfer rumors, and he will also be the focus of many scouts. However, Mukasa himself is not interested in this, but focuses more on his career development in his new home.

Mukasa finally said: "To be honest, I am not interested in transfer rumors. I leave these things to my agents and will not ask too much. I thank the fans for their attention and hope to bring this performance to the U21 echelon or even the first team."
