Man City whizkid Denis Suarez: English system needs B teams

Manchester City striker Denis Suarez admits its tough for young players in the Premier League.

Spain Under-19 international Suarez, handed his first start last night, agrees that the English system doesn't help youth team players graduate into the first team. In his homeland, it's the norm for reserve sides to play in the second tier, something Suarez believes should be replicated in England.

"For me, the best thing would be if we had a second team playing in the second division in England like the Spanish clubs do," said the 19-year-old in an interview in the programme.

"This would allow us to gain experience against other League teams, playing the style our club demands and not having to go out on loan."
