Manchester City management admits the place is buzzing this season.
City assistant manager Mark Bowen said: "The enthralling thing is that the staff is presented every day with new challenges. Having a few Brazilian internationals is a fascinating one." And City boss Mark Hughes added to The Times: "They have a love of the game and love playing, so it is not hard to prepare them for, say, a cold evening in our stadium for a Uefa Cup game. At the moment everything is positive and there is a real buzz around the place. You notice it, I notice it. "
