The second round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will see another exciting match, with Manchester City hosting a fierce Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City striker Marmouche expressed his belief that competitive spirit within the team will make the team better.

The 26-year-old Malmush joined Manchester City in January this year and played 16 games in the Premier League last season, contributing 7 goals.

In an interview, Malmush said, "Competition within the team is very important to all of us. It is healthy competition. No matter who starts, we certainly hope that the team can succeed. If a player comes on as a substitute, he must go all out, which will also promote and improve the overall level in training."

"We all know that there are always people behind us waiting for the opportunity to play, which will motivate us to become better. It's a virtuous cycle."

Talking about the performance of the new signings, Marmouş said, "From the first day they joined the training, we could see their excellent abilities. Ait Nouri has good skills and is strong defensively. Reinders is an all-around midfielder who has a great influence in attack, and Rayan Sherkyi also has high skills and creativity in small spaces."

"James Trafford was also outstanding, saving a crucial shot. We are well aware of their qualities and are delighted to have them join the team and hopefully we can continue to improve."

In addition, Manchester City defeated Wolves 4-0 in the first round of this season, while Tottenham Hotspur beat Burnley 3-0.

Malmush continued, "It's always special to play at home, and I hope to put on a great game. We've studied the characteristics of our opponents, and they've made changes to both the team and the coach. This game will definitely be tough, but if we show our level, I'm confident we'll be a tough team to beat."

"We will grow together and become stronger over time. We have a lot of talent and Manchester City's goal is always to win titles."
