Not comparing the players there... just weighing who fared better and I think Yaya has been more valuable and I also think it's really debatable because Silva too did well
A fantastic and elegant footballer. Probably the best first touch in the whole league, I absolutely love watching him play. I do get the sense of an air of Hleb at Arsenal though, in that he often floats around having you salivating at his style of play only by the end of the game you're left wondering what he actually did. In this way of thinking, I find in a productive sense he often flatters to decieve - however in terms of natural ablity on the ball he is sublime.

He takes so much abuse but still just gets up. I don't know who said that they called him same name as some sort of Spanish Milk. Because he just gets kicked around yet he gets up as if it is nothing, got mad bones yo.

Scored the winner this weekend for City. (Albeit the keeper doing a Robert Green!)
I can't remember him losing the ball once when I've watched their games recently tbh. He would be the main player for any national team, except spain, feel for the guy.

Why did you leave Valencia?
Because the club needed me to. Life… I was happy there and I wouldn’t have left, but the situation the club was in demanded it. It was a big injection of money and it was good for them. My life has always gone step by step. I suppose it was time to take the next one.
And why Manchester City?
Because they showed a great interest… I wanted to settle it quickly. It was a very interesting offer, a good club and I didn’t have to think too much. Everyone agreed. I’m very happy.
What is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, the owner of the club, like?
I don’t know. I’ve never seen him and I’ve never spoken to him.
If you had to define your life in Manchester, how would you do it?
A lot of games, a lot of tranquility. My life is Manchester is very tranquil. Well, I live in the suburbs. The little free time I have I spend at home and walking around the town. The most complicated part about the adaptation has been the cold, since the temperatures are very different to those in Valencia… but I’m very good and comfortable with everything else.
Are you treated better as a world champion? Is there more respect for Spanish players?
No, I’m a person and I’m valued as one. I wouldn’t judge anyone for what they are or what they have, but rather how they are as a person. That’s how I’m treated, as a person.
What is the thing that has impacted you most about living in the U.K.?
The tranquility. It’s incredible. And the passion with which they live football. It’s wonderful. British people are very fun. In the beginning, I only spoke with the Latin players and with Touré, who spoke Spanish, but now I’m better with the language and I get along really well with the English, with everyone…
Benítez made the players speak English in the locker room. What’s Mancini’s take?
He lets us speak whatever we want.
You began the World Cup as a starter and ended as a substitute. You haven’t started a game since the friendly against Argentina. How do you feel about that?
Good, I’m happy. I don’t ask when I play and I don’t do it when I don’t play. I’m happy with being able to come to the national team, which I do with the greatest joy. It’s a reward and I always hope to play, but there is a lot of competition and I understand if the coach prefers someone else. I’ve played in 45 games and I started many times. I’m content. I’ve felt important since I was called up. I feel that I participated in the successes of the team and I’ve scored many goals. I’m content because I have the feeling that when I’ve had the opportunity to play, I’ve contributed things. And I hope to continue like this. If it’s possible, tomorrow.
Why has it been hard for Spain to score lately?
It’s not just now, I think it’s been since the Eurocopa. The rivals close themselves off and it’s not easy.
Is it hard to prepare mentally for games such as the one tomorrow?
No, when you come to the national team, the incentive is enormous.
Who was it that said to you, “you’re not Canarian, you’re Basque.”
Luis Aragonés. He told me that because he thought I was a very hardened veteran.
