Silva: I demonstrate the best athletic form throughout my entire career © EuroFootball.com

Leader David Silva claims that he is currently demonstrating the best sport form throughout his career.

The Spaniard arrived in England in the summer of 2010 from Valencia and, after adapting to the new environment, became one of the key players of the Manchester team.

"I enjoy the fact that my sports form is the best it has ever been - including my time in Valencia," said Silva to The Sun. "I am the same person as last season, but as a player, I have matured a lot. I understand the team's style better, I have adapted to the club.

Furthermore, I speak English better, which helps me communicate with my teammates. This used to be a problem for me in the past."

Silva also praised coach Roberto Mancini: "He encourages me to improve my game and that's my challenge. I am a winner. I want to triumph in the Premier League."
