Muriel's confidence is not unfounded, as Atalanta has been consistently performing well in the Serie A in recent seasons. Under the guidance of head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta has developed a strong and cohesive team that is capable of taking on any opponent. Their attacking style of play, which is based on quick transitions and fluid movement, has earned them plaudits from fans and pundits alike.The City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”

Title: The Impact of Changing "Water Fees" to "Water Taxes" on Water Conservation GoalsSénégal: Des prêts de la Société financière internationale en faveur de la Sococim et du groupe AzalaïSir, In democracy, democratic Govt. is defined as an elected Govt. by the people and for the people. It is a system of the Govt. in which supreme power is vested with the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through the system of representatives usually involving free elections periodically. It is associated with the participation, competition, civil and political liberties, then such a govt. is responsible for the care of the public, sorting out the grievances, worries, amicably whereas public reserves the right to protest peacefully against the decisions if they hurt their sentiments, effects economic and financial status. But in contrary news in TV, Newspapers and social media is flooded daily with such protests where protests either continue for unlimited or prolonged periods but Govt. hardly cares and administration doesn’t bother to listen. On the contrary when protestors lose their patience they either try to meet representatives or turn violent thus damage to public property. They are lathicharged and forced to disperse/runaway, in both the cases their dreams get shattered and they lose faith in a democratic setup. This is not healthier in a democratic setup. To avoid such unhealthy situations Govt. must come forward to talk to the protestors and educate them the reasons, why their demands can’t be conceded in a hurry but shall be considered by debating among officials and representatives to sort out amicable solutions acceptable to both protestors and Govt. if found reasonable. Let’s hope wisdom prevails in society. Better late than never to avoid such confronting situations in future everwhere in our democratic India. Ashok Kumar Gandotra Shiv Nagar, Jammu
