ჩავიყვნეთ ვაზიარეთ ჭეშმარიტ ლიგას და ავალაპარაკეთ
DAVID SILVA is used to having Christmas off, but has prepared for Man City's festive fixtures by declaring his love for the Premier League.
In his native Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid have pulled well away from the chasing pack as La Liga shuts down until the new year.
But in England there's no let up to the action with several teams chasing the title.
"Barcelona and Real Madrid are going well and have built up quite a lead," said Silva.
"In England it is far more hard fought. You could have any number of teams getting up there near the top.
"That makes for a more entertaining and enjoyable league."
Since arriving from Valencia in the summer, Silva has eased into life in England and twice been voted the City fans' player of the month.
"I have settled in but I owe a lot to my team-mates because they helped make the process a lot quicker," he said.
"The games in England are very competitive. So many sides can make life very hard for you. It is a real challenge.
"But we are going OK at the moment. Now we must continue so we are in the final shake-up."
Silva also denied that City's highly paid stars couldn't hack the harsh weather, having missed out on the chance to top the table after losing 2-1 at home to Everton last Monday.
"It was very cold when we played our last few away games; the coldest it has been," said Silva.
"At Fulham we were very good and won comfortably. The cold suits us fine."
