Man City ace Mahrez: I adapted to Pep demands

Manchester City ace Riyad Mahrez is enjoying playing for manager Pep Guardiola.

If the adaptation was not immediate, Mahrez is happy with how he has developed with the help of the coaches to tailor his game for the City style.

Mahrez said, “You have to get used to it at first but when you get used to it and you train a long time with Pep and everyone else it is easy. I don't think you have to be physically strong [in the Premier League]. I adapted because I like the way we play, the way there is space, the attacking game, so that is my type of game.

"Leicester was more of a counter-attacking team and at City we are more attacking, you have to break teams down. It is a completely different type of game. You have to adapt, and I think I am very good with that and happy."
