De Jong confident of victory
igel de Jong says Manchester City will go to Manchester United confident they can extend their lead at the Premier League summit with a win.[LNB] Roberto Mancini's men are currently two points clear of their city rivals.[LNB]City travel to Old Trafford as part of Sky Sports' Super Sunday, and De Jong has victory firmly in his sights.[LNB]"Of course everyone believes we can go there and win. We're going there as number one and the aim is to stay number one," he said.[LNB]"We are on top of the league so going into that game we just have to be confident and play our game as well as we have been doing.[LNB]"The pressure is still the same as it was last year. But what has changed is that we are now number one going into this derby.[LNB]"We don't have any point to prove. We've shown our quality throughout the season. We don't need a game against United to show how good we are.[LNB]"But it's two of the best teams in England going up against each other and I expect it to be a great game.[LNB]"Everyone was talking about that FA Cup semi-final but we proved we can win. Now we have to go into this game believing we can get the three points."[LNB]De Jong feels City's last-gasp Champions League win over Villarreal on Tuesday night was timely.[LNB]"It's a big boost for us," he said.[LNB]"Every game you win gives you something extra going into the next game. That's especially the case when you've got a game like this one on Sunday.[LNB]"The belief has always been there for us. We're confident but United will be as well. They're at home and it's a massive game for both of us."[LNB]De Jong also insists that City are starting to build a history, after ending their trophy drought last season by winning the FA Cup.[LNB]"You can't build a history of winning trophies over 25 years like United have done just in one year," he said.[LNB]"There's more to come but we are building here step by step and that takes time. Maybe you don't get a lot of time when you are spending a lot of money on players. But still you need to go step by step - that's how it has to be.[LNB]"The other side is that everyone is hungry for success and it has to come as quickly as possible for most of us."
