I felt pretty "meh" up until the last day or two, after such a high from last season. I was incredibly invested mentally with the CL. I was desperate for City to win. When we got knocked out or lost it really did impact my mood for several days. I couldn't sleep after the Real loss and kept playing things over in my mind! Getting that one in the bank, and as part of a treble felt like a weight off my shoulders, and I'm just a fan! To get going again is really going to take something, but Pep will ensure they do.
At Bayern he had the chance to win 4 league titles in a row with them (although he wasn't part of all 4 of course). That had never been done in Germany before either. He got the number 4 papered all around the training ground to make sure it became the obsession, and I'm sure it's what he'll do with us this season. I'm excited for Friday, and getting back into the mindset of going again! I'm also looking forward to the Super Cup as I really want us to go and win that, it would be nice to win those niche tournaments we're part of. Community Shield I couldn't give a toss about.
The squad looks good, we've improved a defence that was already solid and replaced Gundogan. It would be nice to get some extra attacking players in but I wouldn't mind seeing some academy lads get a run in the side and establish themselves. It would be a nice touch. Winning the league for me is the priority, but there's a good chance we can go and win the CL again as well. Either way, sit back and enjoy the ride. We're certainly in a better position than we were at the start of last season which should worry the other teams.
