Manchester City midfielder Patrick Vieira is not bothered by playing against physical teams and says he is happy to be back in the tough and tumble of the English Premier League.
The 33-year old Frenchman spent the past four-and-a-half seasons in Italy's Serie A but is glad he is back among the tough stuff of English football.
"There are no teams like that in Italy but I had a few tough moments against Bolton, so I knew what it was going to be like," he said.
"The physical aspect of England is different but don't forget I was at Arsenal for nine years.
"A lot of my game is based on the physical aspect and I enjoy it. In Italy it was different. That is why I am so pleased to come back."
