Manuel Pellegrini has spoken of his satisfaction with Manchester City's comfortable three goal victory over Swansea City, in his post-match interview, stating that his side's strong defensive performance is a positive:
"I'm very pleased because we won against a very strong team. It's not easy to play Swansea, as they keep the ball very well."
"In Wednesday's game against Plzen, we didn't defend well. Today however, when Swansea played very well after our first goal, we were very good defensively."
Goalscorer, Samir Nasri, has been praised by Pellegrini, who has cited him as an "important" part of the team:
"Nasri played very well today, particularly in the second half. He's happy, and you can see that with the freedom in his play. He is an important player for the team, and he feels this way too. Our style of play suits him."
"We all know that he is a big player, but now he is playing like we know he can play again."
When questioned about Sergio Aguero's recent links to a move to Real Madrid, the new Manchester City manager replied:
"I don't know anything about these rumours, I don't think he wants to leave, so I don't think there will be a problem here."
