Dzeko happy to help Pellegrini win Man City Double at first attempt

Edin Dzeko is happy for Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini after last season' success.

City won a Premier League and Capital One Cup Double.

"It was an amazing season for all of us - players, staff, the club," said the striker in the club's end-of-season DVD.

"Two Premier League titles in three years is not easy to do because there are so many top teams wanting to win the league, that's why we appreciate it even more. The way we played we deserved it.

"We were only 15 days on the top in the whole year. But we had games in hand and maybe we were not favourites when we lost at Liverpool, it was out of our hands. But you always believe - it ends when it ends. We kept believing and when Chelsea beat Liverpool it was all in our hands.

"We won our last four games and here we are, champions again. If you don't believe you can't win it.

"Two trophies in the manager's first year is not bad at all."
