Alex Neil said he couldnt have asked for more from his Norwich City players after the 0-0 draw against Manchester City at Carrow Road.The result stretches Norwichs winless run to 10 games in the Premier League, but the point takes them level with 17th-place Sunderland in the fight for survival.Despite having only 34 per cent possession in the game, the Norwich defence stood tall to withstand the pressure, and Neil praised his sides game management in seeing out the clash. Manuel Pellegrini blamed Manchester Citys inability to create space for the draw He told Sky Sports: When we get to the end of the season well see how significant it is. In terms of effort and endeavour we couldnt have asked for any more.In the first half we had some real good play, and in the second we started to fatigue a little bit because we put some much into that first half.This season there have been a lot of decisions we have made that have been the making of our own downfall. Norwich 0-0 Man City Manchester Citys Premier League title bid continued to stutter But the players managed this one really well, showed their experience right through the match, and it was a lot, lot better in terms of decision-making. Its really pleasing.If Norwich were to be relegated this season, they would be the first team to drop from the Premier League on four occasions.Neils side face fellow strugglers Newcastle and Sunderland at Carrow Road before the end of the season, but the Scot is also hoping to drag others above them into the mix. Norwich are still without a win in 10 Premier League games One thing I would say is that the last time Norwich were relegated they were five points above the relegation places with seven games to play, he said.If other teams just above us end up going on a poor run and dont win a game, theres no reason why we cant catch them. Certainly at the moment we just want to be above the teams around us.The one thing we discussed with the squad is that weve got it in our own hands, with those two rivals in the relegation battle having to come here.If we put on a real strong performance and win those two games, it gives us a strong place to go from.Winger Nathan Redmond went off in the first half and Neil added: (He) just went over on his ankle. He just rolled it.Its a concern for us because hes a key player. Were hoping its not going to be too bad.Also See:Premier League videoFixturesTableLive on SkyWhat is the best Chinese web site for cheap Jerseys .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Barcelona announced Tuesday that the Argentine coach would take over for Vilanova, who stepped down last week to proceed with a cancer treatment that was "incompatible" with his coaching duties. The 50-year-old Martino has never coached in Europe before, and after five trophy-laden seasons with coaches who had come up through the clubs youth programs, his signing represents a break from the line of selecting in-house managers. Martino said that he would tweak the team he has inherited, looking to improve on something that was already working well. "I will try to combine both things, keeping with the style of the club and the style the players are comfortable playing in, but logically while trying to add my own part to make a more complete team," Martino said. "There are excellent players here and if we can go back to the ideas of the great moments of Barcelona we will do well." Martino will travel later Friday to Oslo, where Barcelona is getting ready to play a friendly against Valerenga on Saturday. The Spanish league is set to begin on Aug. 17-18. He will have a tough act to follow. Vilanova led Barcelona to the Spanish league title last season and helped Guardiola guide it to an unprecedented 14 of a possible 19 titles as his assistant from 2008-12. In his favour, Martino will receive a star-studded squad with Lionel Messi, several Spanish internationals such as Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas, and the clubs latest major signing, Brazil striker Neymar. But his chances for success may largely depend on how well he can convince this diverse collection of players used to winning, and winning in the Barcelona way of attacking football, that he is the right man to carry the team through this unexpected ttransition.dddddddddddd While Barcelona won its fourth Spanish league title in five years last season, it lost its place as Europes best team after Bayern Munich crushed it 7-0 over two legs of the Champions League semifinals. Martino thinks he can put Barcelona back on top. "Even for a club like Barcelona that has reached such a high level of excellence, it can also get better and needs to in order to sustain a high level of winning," Martino said. "Above all, we want to recover Barcelonas ability to pressure high up the pitch. We want a Barcelona comfortable in attack and defending far from its own area." While not going into many details about a group of players he has yet to meet, Martino said that he plans to keep using Messi as Barcelonas central forward, "where he has exploded in recent years." Martino considered it "normal" that he was relatively unknown in Europe. His greatest coaching achievements are leading Newells Old Boys to the Argentine league title last season and Paraguay to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2010. He has already received the backing of Messi. "He (is) a great coach and his record speaks for itself. He showed he could do things well both at Newells and with Paraguay," Messi said. "I am convinced he will do well at Barca." Messi played for Newells in his home town of Rosario as a young boy before his move to Spain to join Barcelonas "La Masia" training academy. The four-time world player of the year has been Martinos most vocal supporter so far, even though they dont know each other personally. Martino, who has the nickname "Tata," led Newells to its first league title in nine years last in June, achieving a remarkable turnaround for a side that had fought off relegation the season before. He coached Paraguay from 2007-11. As a player, Martino was a midfielder from 1980-1996, including a short spell in 1991 at Spanish club Tenerife in the Canary Islands. ' ' '
