This pass by David Silva opposite Manchester United as one of the strong dishes of his ten years at Manchester City.
The Blues legend is expected to play their last Premier League game against Norwich on Sunday and leave the fans with a thousand satisfied memories.
And Silva talked about some of the highlights, and a minimum, of his time at the City.
The Spanish foreigner has scored memorable goals and assists over the past decade, but his career began with his first Premier League goal, in a 3–2 win at Blackpool in October 2010.
It was not his first purpose at City, which had positioned himself a month earlier in a Europa League victory at Red Bull Salzburg, but made the English realize it.
Faced with this glorious purpose, critics rushed to dismiss it as too light, fast enough, or lethal enough in the face of purpose to succeed in his life in England.
Silva admits it was a purpose he needed after starting his new club after a 24 million pound move.
“It was very good because this goal gave me a lot of confidence,” he said. “It made me feel more relaxed and proved I was adapting to the style of play here.
“When I arrived after the World Cup, I wasn’t in my most productive physical form. Gradually, but surely, I was made known and the fact is that this purpose gave me a great boost to play as I wanted.
The Blues didn’t have to wait long for The City’s investment in him, Carlos Tevez, Yaya Touré and Sergio Aguero, to begin to bear fruit, and the advance came here with the FA Cup triumph in 2011, ending a 35-year wait. a trophy.
Silva recalls that final victory opposed to Stoke: “One day, we were told that we had a plan and that it was to win trophies, and then, in my first year, we won the FA Cup. The rest is history.
“We’ve won a lot of titles since then. As I was told when I joined, it’s your job for us and the fact is we did it.
But it was the following season that Silva really took centre stage. He was the guile behind City’s dramatic first Premier League win.
And the moment he stole a very good pass from Edin Dzeko, after crushing David De Gea to put the 5-1, is the most sensitive list of wonderful moments of Silva for all the City fans.
Normally, Silva passes the credits to Dzeko, for its completion: “It was a very good pass but also in Edin because if he hadn’t scored, we wouldn’t have talked much about it.
“Passes are most valuable when there is a purpose to wipe them out! He was an impressive player for us, lost his warless parts and his ending was also smart.
“The fact is that it is a total functionality of the total equipment. 6-1 opposite United at Old Trafford. Imagine that. The overall team played very well and is a historic result.”
This led the City to beat the Reds by the league’s name on the final day of the season by difference of purpose, following a heartbreaking victory over the Queen’s Park Rangers.
Silva said: “We deserved the league that year because we played so well.
“We had to suffer a little, but anyway the Premier League is a very complicated league and the hardest component is to take that first step and win it for the first time. We were going to win and he took a weight off our backs.
But it has not always been champagne and roses for Silva in his time at City.
He had a recurring ankle injury that worried him from 2014 to 2016 and crossed the pain barrier to help the Blues succeed.

That, and the premature birth of his son Matthew in 2017 are the two difficult moments of his career at City, but neither has had any results.
“Problems happen when you have injuries. They impede your career and depress you because you need to play,” he said. “I think the biggest challenge.
“There were moments when my ankle was really bad, I had to have an injection before I played and then eventually couldn’t carry on – and it was so frustrating.
“But in the end everything has been worth it, everything has gone so well for me and I have been able to help the team.
“I look at the paints every day to make sure I have compatibility and compatibility with injuries. So I’m having fun.
“On the field, I go out for fun, knowing that I’m at an age when I’m going to play less and less.
“I try to laugh and paint hard until the end of the game. I think with hard paints, you can play for a long time at a level.
