[LNB]'We are talking about two important players,' said Mancini. [LNB]'For me, my players are the best in the world. I think David is a fantastic player and for him it's a different situation now, playing different football, but after one month he will be ready to go 100 per cent for the team. He will be an important player for the future. [LNB] More of the same: Mancini will be hoping his side's positive European form will be taken back to the Premier League[LNB]'He played for Valencia in the Champions League for many years. The Premier League is different and every player needs one or two months to understand English football. [LNB]'David can play in every position. For Valencia he played either right or left wing, but I think this position is the best for him.'

[LNB]'The Europa League is very important to us and I'm happy because it was important to start the group well. I thought we deserved to win this game.'
