The Belgium international believes that his side should not be considered as the leading contender for the Premier League despite its triumph during the 2011-12 seasonBy Rhys TurrellAug 12, 2012 5:05:00 PMEPL,Vincent Kompany,Arsenal v Manchester City EPL,Vincent Kompany,Arsenal v Manchester City Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is predicting another
roller-coaster Premier League season but has denied that his club is
the favorite to win the title.
Roberto Mancini's team claimed the 2011-12 championship in dramatic
style and begin its title defense next Sunday when they kick-off at
home to newly-promoted Southampton.
City made a statement to its league rivals on Sunday by coming from
behind to record a 3-2 victory over Chelsea in the Community
Shield.
"It's going to be a very interesting season again," Kompany told
the FA's official website. "I wouldn't say we are favorites but it
doesn't matter; if we can improve on last season then I'll be very
happy."
Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez and Samir Nasri scored to hand City
victory at Villa Park, with Fernando Torres and Ryan Bertrand
notching goals either side of the three-goal flurry for the
European champions.
Kompany refused to get carried away with the result despite dealing
an early blow to its rival, and recognized that the London club
will be a threat to City's hopes of retaining its Premier League
crown.
"We deserved to win, but it's going to be a tough league because
you can see Chelsea have got qualities as well," he added.
