Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was impressed by Sergio Aguero's display in the Community Shield game, as well as his physical condition.
The Argentinian was a constant threat to the Chelsea goal on Sunday, scoring both of City's goals.
"We were really impressed when he arrived," Guardiola said about Aguero.
"Sergio always has a little bit with his physicality - maybe he needs a little bit more time to take his physical condition. But he arrived so sharp, so good.
"I think at the end of last season, the knee operation...he suffered the previous years with a little bit of a problem and Ramon Cugat, the best doctor in the world, made the perfect surgery and now he feels free.
"I think it's good news for us for the season. He scored two goals, produced chances, he could have scored three or four or five. That is good."
