David Silva has asserted his faith in ‘attackminded’ Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini. The Blues boss received widespread criticism as his team finished second to Premier League champions Chelsea last season after winning the double of title and Capital One Cup in his first campaign in 2013/14. And there was strong speculation the Chilean would be sacked before club chiefs gave him their backing for another season.
Pellegrini led a squad of experienced first-teamers and young hopefuls on City preseason’s tour to Australia and Vietnam on Thursday. And Silva, who will join the party in a week after playing and scoring in Spain’s 1-0 Euro qualifier win over Belarus, is delighted the manager is still at the helm. He said: “He’s been our coach for two years and he is a coach who likes to play attacking football so for the attacking players it is very good and we want to keep playing that way.” City face an early test when Chelsea visit the expanded Etihad Stadium on the second week end of the new season.
