Dzeko checks in with impressive debut

16 January 2011 14:00
Edin Dzeko emerged from his thrill-a-minute Manchester City debut to declare the Premier League to be somewhat different to life in Germany. Ineligible for Tuesday's FA Cup third-round replay with Leicester, Blues boss Roberto Mancini opted to throw his £27million newcomer straight into the fray against Wolves yesterday. A breathless 4-3 win at Eastlands provided not only three precious points in the quest for a first City league title since 1968, but also a crash course in English football for Dzeko. "The game is different," smiled the Bosnian. "It is harder than Germany. "It is probably going to take me a few games to find my feet, but I am very happy to be here and if we keep winning there will be no problem."
