Cardiff midfielder Medel: English game suits me

Gary Medel is enjoying life at Cardiff City.

Manager Malky Mackay raves about him; Medel says he "loves being at Cardiff".

"I am very passionate and I am very loyal to my teams," he told the Daily Mail. "The red cards and a lot of the incidents I have had - they are almost all because of my reaction and not my action. They are not for bad tackles. I have a big temper but as I am growing I am learning and trying to adapt, to react less, because I know I must. I am maturing.

"I will not change the aggression in my game. English football is great. In Spain, if you breathe you get a yellow card. Here it is more intense physically. I like to be intense, I love to win the tackles. I will not change that."
