Man City defender Stones wants to carry on winning silverware

Manchester City defender John Stones wants to carry on winning silverware.

City have just completed a first domestic Treble - and Stones doesn't want to stop there.

Stones is determined that his England team-mates get to share the winning habit at the inaugural UEFA Nations League in Portugal next week.

He said: "The chance we've got is so new: a new tournament that we can go and win. There's boys here who have not won or been in any finals and [haven't experienced] what it's like to win something or fight for something so special.

"And I want to give them that hunger of something so special, so addictive. When you lift a trophy and know that you've been the best in whatever competition, it is it's something so special.

"I can't describe it in any other way. It's so addictive. To have that memory in your head. When I think back now of lifting that trophy [the FA Cup] at Wembley up on the balcony, it's something that will never leave your mind. It's so unique when you can't have anyone say they were better than you."
