David Silva

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that David Silva was recently left out of the starting lineup against Stoke City due to concerns about burnout.

City are competing in several competitions including the Champions League and FA Cup. As a result, there is a huge number of games for the blue half of Manchester. Guardiola has always been obsessed about resting players and giving them time to recuperate. It was a feature of his spell at Barcelona. However, rotation has always been seen as a bad tactic in English football. Guardiola’s decision proved to be wrong after City failed to create much opportunities in the 90 minutes against Stoke.

Premier League side Manchester City played Stoke City without David Silva despite it being a crucial game as the battle for the top four continues.

The Spaniard has called on his team to recover from the barren game and fight for a title – they are still in contention for the FA Cup and the Champions League.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised midfielder David Silva for his ability on the ball.

Silva has mesmerised to the Premier League with his silky touch and ability to spot a pass. He has been doing so for the last seven years after coming to the Premier League in 2010 for around £ 24 million from Valencia. Even though he is now into the 30s and one of the experienced professionals around, Silva continues to retain a major impact on how City play. Silva was always going to be one of the key players under Guardiola and it has proven to be the case.

The man who had systematically robbed the cash out of the account of David Silva is behind the bars now as he has been slapped a punishment of more than 3 years by the English judiciary.

The bank in which Silva had a deposit account got a call recently that Silva needed to be issued a new debit card as he lost his original one somewhere, but, the caller was not Silva himself. It was somebody trying to impersonate him.

David Silva has revealed that he is enjoying playing under Pep Guardiola because the manager gives him a lot of freedom than any other boss.

Silva is regarded as one of the best creative midfielder is in the Premier League and it is not a surprise that Guardiola has made him the fulcrum of Manchester City’s attack.

Manchester City confirmed their spot in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after playing a 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach.

Coach Pep Guardiola would not happy after Fernandinho received marching orders, going the way of the hosts who has been cut down to ten men. The Spaniard would be content with David Silva as his compatriot got the equalizer for the Sky Blues late in the first half.

Former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has branded David Silva as the best player he has ever played with.

Edin Dzeko was the teammate of Silva for a couple of years and he got to experience the full quality of the Spaniard from close up. After his move from Valencia back in 2009 for just £ 24 million, Silva has been one of the best players in English football. Of late, he may have struggled with injuries and this limited his impact on the game, but his talent is obvious for everyone to witness.

David Silva reveals his joy under Pep Guardiola and believes Manchester City's early season form is as a result of the freedom the Catalan guarantees the team.

Silva has been playing in a slightly deeper role since Guardiola replaced Manuel Pellegrini as the coach of Manchester City, with the team having won 10, drawn one and lost one of their 12 competitive matches this season.

Manchester City midfielder David Silva claims that he is enjoying life in the Guardiola, as the Spaniard is allowing him more freedom on the ball.

Silva appears back to his best this campaign and he has already contributed tremendously to the club’s impressive start to the campaign. City only recently suffered their first defeat of the season and it came after six consecutive wins. The blip against Tottenham is unlikely to affect the confidence, which has been at skyhigh according to Silva. Guardiola came in as the replacement for Manuel Pellegrini in the summer and the former Barcelona manager was expected to do some great things at the club.

Since taking over Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has guided the Premier League club to 3 successive league matches as well as a number of other friendly games as well as International Champions Cup encounters.

It’s been around 8 months since Guardiola arrived to the Etihad Stadium and this isn’t a significantly long period of time for a manager to make a truly impact in any club but it seems like Pep Guardiola has managed to do it as David Silva has felt the effect that the Spanish coach has made so far.
