Nolito: Guardiola key to Man City choice

Nolito is delighted to be with Manchester City this season.

Nolito could have signed for Barcelona instead of City when he decided to leave Celta Vigo in the summer.

But the 30-year-old thinks coming to England to play under Pep Guardiola was the right move for him.

"Making the right decision can be difficult. I'm very happy in City and I believe I have made the right decision," he said.

"I worked with him [Guardiola] at Barca. Pep is always on top of everything and that's good.

"He doesn't relax and makes sure we're always on duty.

"It's difficult because the Premier League is different [to La Liga]. The players run like crazy, the stadiums are fuels, the players are quick and strong and the referees like to let the game flow.

"The Premier League and La Liga are the two best leagues in the world."
