Jovetic only thinking of Man City future

Stevan Jovetic is only thinking of a future with Manchester City.

Jovetic was superb in City's 5-1 thrashing of Mario Balotelli's AC Milan on Sunday night , scoring a superb brace to cap a brilliant all-round display.

He said: "My injury problems are all okay now. I had a three-week rest and after that I started doing the programme that City set for me.

"We had 10 days in Scotland and then came here. I feel good and I hope the fans are going to see a lot of things from me.

"Last year I think I played well when I was fit. This year hopefully when I have a good preparation with the team it's going to be a different story.

"This time last year, the problem was that they finished with the first part of pre-season in South Africa and I was waiting to sign. I was working alone but it's not the same.

"Then when I arrived they were starting to play matches and I was always behind the rest of the squad.

"I was with the national team and I wanted to play 90 minutes to get more fitness.

"That was a mistake because I got hurt and came into the season injured.

"Then I was always behind and had one injury after another, it was difficult. In that moment you just have to believe in yourself and when that five minutes comes to enjoy it and play well like I did.

"I hope that this year I'm going to score many goals."
