Adam Johnson has said that it would be great even if Manchester City won the Carling cup. The Carling cup is regarded as one of the least important trophies during the entire season, but Adam Johnson reckons that even with the addition of silverware in the form of the Carling cup, Manchester City can rejoice.

Johnson was quick to point out that trophies are the need of the hour for Manchester City, and they will be extremely willing to lift the Carling cup at the new Wembley like they did for the FA Cup back in the summer.

Adam Johnson was speaking after the 1-0 win over Arsenal, which has now provided Manchester City with the opportunity to play in the semifinals. The Carling cup was one of the most important trophies for José Mourinho when he took over at Chelsea. He recognised the value of winning a trophy together with the team, and one can say that the Carling cup was the start of many trophies for Chelsea. Adam Johnson also believes that this will be the case with Manchester City as well. However, Manchester City also have to focus on the Premier League and the European competitions as well. Further, there is also the FA Cup to consider as well.

“If we can have come away with another trophy or another final it will be massive for the club, so it is another competition we want to win. It was a tough game for us. Having to come here having had a long week with a lot of travelling was hard but we have come away with a win and a place in the semi-finals now," added Johnson said after the 1-0 win over Arsenal. Sergio Aguero scored the only goal of the game.
