ROBERTO MANCINI cranked up the heat on Alex Ferguson by vowing to win SEVEN trophies in four years.
A win today over QPR will mean Manchester City’s first title since 1968 — but Mancini looked as though HE was cracking under the pressure yesterday.
He said: “Winning this title would be my best ever. The players will have changed history.”
City boss Mancini wants to complete the shift in power in Manchester by emulating his glittering success in charge of Inter Milan.
He said: “I won Inter their first title for 20 years.
“We began with the Italian Cup, then we continued for four years — seven trophies.
“Could I repeat that here? I hope so — and maybe we can do better.”
Despite looking under severe heat in training yesterday, Mancini was all smiles as he met City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
He added: “This championship is the most difficult, so if we win it would be the very best for me, too.
“But I say ‘if’ we win because we still have another game.
“To fight with United is not easy because they have won for 20 years.”
