Champions League preview: David Silva previews Manchester City v Villarreal

[9livesm]

In general i don't particularly like City. It's good modern entertainment but i just think the way they have gone about quite literally buying trophies isn't good for football but hey there's nothing we can do to stop it. The one thing i do like is David Silva though, seems very humble polite and is amazingly talented. Lot of respect for this little fella.

[MsShakibkhan]

he is still so down to earth....i hope he stays like that

[nabeelshan]

Silva is da best player manchester city ever had !

[Bojanproducction]

DAvid silva is a magic person !

GRAN CANARIA y CANARIAS entera te esta agradecida por ser como eres animo silva !

[officialdavidtruong3]

What a translator. World Translator of the Year!!!

[Albertosky1]

Many people complaining that Silva does not speak English. Beckham spent many years in Madrid and did not speak any Spanish. I do not speak good English but I try to communicate with others in English. Sure Silva speaks English but is ashamed because he does not speak very well

[TheFabregasHater]

LOOOL The translator has a proper Manc accent!!

[TheFabregasHater]

I thought he spoke english???? am a bit confused.

[thardysboys]

@TheFabregasHater Didn't you see the top comment ? ;)

He speaks English, but he feels uncomfortable speaking English in front of the media

[ShutYourBreath]

Even when Silva understands English, he allows the translator to finish the translation before going on to answer the question posed to him by the floor. Such a well-mannered player. damn!

[joaskcosasmastontas]

es un crak silva

[iLukeC]

Absolutely quality Translator, well worth the watch!

[pulsengine]

Let's give it to the translator, a Mancunian who can speak Spanish!!

[fredrikjonas]

5:25 wtf man? He is playing for the best team in the world. Wait and see, wait a year

[fredrikjonas]

what a player

[fredrikjonas]

I am a Wolves a Valencia fan. This guy is better than Iniesta. Only Messi is better. Xavi is one the same lvl.

[danathor99]

Best player in the prem, need more be said?

[drscaine]

LOVE THIS DUDE, what an absolute LAD he is, a far cry from a prat like TEVEZ:)

[bluejoan100]

Watching Davids ,reactions from the questions i could tell that he knows a lot of English. He is pro in every sense of the word ,he takes a hard tackle gets up and gets on and never complains. He is the best player i have ever seen at City , and he is a joy to watch .

[PersonalSpaceInvdr]

one of the best in City's history 

[r3fuse]

SILVA u da man!

[TheEcofreak]

This guy is amazing at what he does. No chance of any still mistakes with him at Manchester City.

Silva's pretty good as well.

[crocosensor]

way better personality than the hypocrite messi

[nutbagticles]

David puede hablar Inglés si quiere

[clevblue]

Love him to death, City are never the same without Silva, he's the real talisman

[xxDreamChaserxx]

and sorry for blabbing everyone :) I just feel really bad for Silva (and I'm not a fan of his or anything) and this guy deserves more recognition and respect.

[xxDreamChaserxx]

what a gifted player. I feel so bad for him that, like he said, he was the only one who was punished for the Switzerland defeat. He should've been started in the semi-final and final, he links up much better with the players than Pedro (Barcelona or not) and more importantly, he links up amazingly with Villa. It's not fair how since then, Torres, Negredo, Navas, you name it, have been started in front of him. and finally, FINALLY Scotland and look at how he's responded.

[GenericTerric]

@xxDreamChaserxx you're absolutely right

[975estelika]

Me ecanta David Silva por dios teeamooo me llevas loca

eres el mejor jugador y que vas a ganar la premier league

[2310Tekers]

most gifted playmaker in the premier league

[willgeez]

my personal favourite player at the moment.

[BoomZzzZ]

Well obviously Man City have finally invested in a real translator and are getting their money worth

[jmbhjsbsj]

He said thank you in English!

Saludos desde Mallorca crack!!

[robertodowneso]

he speaks very good spanish

[DJCRANBEE]

@robertodowneso could be cus he's spanish

[MikeWeezie]

My favorite player!

[xRavenFreakx]

Everyone says Messi's a legend, Ronaldo's a legend.

This guy's the real legend. He rarely complains. And if he does, it's about not playing, not problems with officials or the new car didn't arrive on time.

Del Bosque gave him a chance, he scored a brace.

This guy, day in and day out, gives it his all.

Messi? Over-rated. It's only because of Xavi and Iniesta that he gets goals.

CR7? Egotistical maniac.

Not saying they suck, but they can't do shit compared to Silva.

Rock on, David.

[Ferret9T2]

@xRavenFreakx Silva is one of the best midfielders in the league but Messi and Ronaldo are obviously better

[pwt10]

@Ferret9T2 ronaldo = overrated

[xRavenFreakx]

@Ferret9T2

Because they score goals? Bullshit.

Silva's goals are of better class: they show he can score easily but he sacrifices his name on the scoresheet for his teammates and his club.

[Ferret9T2]

@xRavenFreakx oh dear, yes lets all listen to ravenfreaks opinion and ignore every pundit and ex player thats ever played the game.

[xRavenFreakx]

@Ferret9T2

Did I ever say Messi was shit? Did I say CR sucked ass? No.

CR7 and Messi played in a league where if you don't dive you'll lose. The fact that Busquets is considered a brilliant midfielder when he hasn't even an inch of talent proves that. In the Premier League, there's variety. I mean, look at Stoke. Even we, City, are scared shitless of played Stoke at their ground, because of the support they get. Oh dear, yes let's all flock to the common view without thinking things through.

[Ferret9T2]

@xRavenFreakx Messi and Ronaldo are obviously better than Messi. Your first comment about only winning if you dive is obviously a lie and Busquets is a good midfielder, otherwise he wouldnt play for the best team in the world at club and national level. Then your comment about Stoke is totally unrelated to this argument.

[xRavenFreakx]

@Ferret9T2 How are they better? And why is it a lie? And Busquets can't do shit. Dribbling? No. Passing? No. Shooting? No. And the fact that Stoke can destroy even Barca at home proves the competition of the Prem League.

[Ferret9T2]

@xRavenFreakx Prove to me that Stone can destroy possibly the 'best footballing side ever to play the game' at home. Stoke would get destroyed. Also yea Busquets is crap, he is only playing for the best side in the world club and national level. :)

[Samc123456]

David silva is a good player.

[espdavid21]

Silva is perfect!!!:D

[robertodowneso]

he also speaks japanese, I think it would be good to answer some of the questions in japanese just to see the translators face.

[MrJonojono34]

i bet he just feels moree compfortable speeking spanish

[KINGMJ1990]

He speaks pretty good english but not good enough for a full interview..

[LivingMusique]

Why are people complaining about Silva not being able to speak English? There is interviews out there with him speaking English. The post-everton 2011 one for example

[theillusiv3]

David Silva speaks decent English as you can tell he understands clearly what the interviewers are saying, but he feel's uncomfortable speaking English infront of the european media.

[AMRcongo]

@theillusiv3 He doesn't speak decent English. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed the translator to translate what the interviewer said.

[KINGMJ1990]

Silva is a great player..!

[faafaToquio]

Super Silva!!! guapissimo!



[davidvrbnjak]

He should have learned English in this year and a half.

[CombustibLemon]

@davidvrbnjak His English is pretty good actually. I bet his English is better than your Spanish.

[Daronn22]

Silva is God.

[imsamroberts]

As a season ticket holder i feel lucky to see this guy play every week , what a special player he is

[sajdsjdsjkgds]

@imsamroberts i agree he's a great player..one of the best attacking midfielders in the game 

[xxGkSmasher]

@imsamroberts hi,how much is the season ticket?

[ShinTec9]

@imsamroberts I THINK SLVA IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE PREMIEL LEAGUE AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE HE IS VERY CONSISTENT AND PLAYS WELL EVERY MATCH.

[RealSilva21]

Silva canarion precioso!! Mucha suerte cn el City!! IYou

[mujali786]

DAVID SILVA... CITY LEGEND IN THE MAKING!

[smeedy187]

@mujali786 He already is a city legend in my eyes, since the second he joined he's been fantastic!

[FarzGFX]

Love David, but would have been nice if he'd spoken a little english <3

[DigimonFan99]

Silva is a great guy

[joeonjoe1]

city till i die
