Fabian Delph reveals why he left Manchester City and compares Guardiola to Marco Silva

Fabian Delph joined Everton in a £10m deal in June after a four-year stay at Manchester City and now he reveals he decided to leave in order to get regular action and save his England Career. “From a personal point of view, I felt it was time for a change,” he said yesterday. “I could have stayed there. They were happy with me. I wasn't told to leave. I played quite a key role within that squad. I had a fantastic four years there, thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wanted a new challenge. I wanted to play more football. Playing for England is massive for me, so if I'm playing more regularly, there's more chance of me being selected. I've got a great relationship with Gareth and the England lads, we're a really close group. The mentality there is fantastic.” Delph said training is different under Marcos Silva. “The volume is a lot higher, we cover a lot more distance,” he said. “There's a lot more intensity and you definitely feel like you've worked come to the end of the day. I love it. There's nothing worse for me than going home with energy. City's training is very good, it's shorter and sharper and is the way the manager likes the lads to play.”
