But Pep clearly rates the majestic midfielder and said in one press conference that Silva would stay at City as long as he was still manager. High praise indeed.
City are also on track to break several Premier League records, including the quickest club to achieve 100 points and the quickest club to win the league.
Pep is telling the players in training that they need to practice these moves "a thousand million times" in order to beat the current Champions, Chelsea. This is Pep making a literal translation from his mother tongue Spanish; 'mil millon' literally means 'a thousand million' but should be translated as 'a billion' times.
Current Premier League champions Chelsea were once again beaten 1-0 by Manchester City; but again, it was a dominant display by the Citizens, who should've scored more.
Chelsea couldn't muster more than 29% possession in the entire game and didn't have a single shot until the second half. The fact that City have now done the double over the champions is significant, given that Chelsea did the treble over them in the previous season. It shows just how far this City side have come.
