Real Sociedad veteran David Silva has spoken of his decision to leave Manchester City.

Silva left City this summer for La Real after coming off contract.

He said, "I spoke to my family and we decided to come here, it's the country where I was born.

"I knew that at Real I would have felt at home. The talent? You keep it, but with the mature years.

"I improved the movements with and without the ball, to read the game better and to manage the game time. It seems easy but it is not so: your head thinks of a thousand things and you have to be good at making the right decisions according to the progress of the matches."
