High praise for Silva and Aguero...
WATFORD boss Quique Flores polished up rough diamonds David Silva and Sergio Aguero in Spain.
Now Flores fears that could rebound on him if the Manchester City gems dazzle his Watford side on their reunion today.
In 2006 Silva was still a rookie when he was invited by Flores to make up the numbers with the Valencia first team.
Flores was blown away by what he discovered and instantly knew the Spanish magician would one day cast his spell at the top.
He said: "Silva was about 20 and I said to myself: 'My God - he's incredible.'
"He never lost the ball, his control was great, whether the ball was in the air, on his chest or on the ground.
"He was amazing. I was impressed with him from the beginning. Silva is very important in the last third behind the strikers.
"He's clever and he's able to create space where it's impossible to see any."
If the threat of Silva is not tough enough to deal with, then another of Flores' old boys will be gunning for his side.
Aguero was the star man in the Atletico Madrid team that won the Europa League for Flores in 2010.
"I knew Aguero before I went to Atletico because at Valencia and we played against him maybe four times," he said.
"The first time we played against Aguero we won 1-0 but when we got back to the dressing room our defender Raul Albiol said: 'Coach, it's impossible to stop Aguero. It's impossible to get the ball off him. When I try he turns and goes. It is impossible.'
"When I am asked who are the best players I have trained in my life, for me it's Silva and Aguero.
"They were the best - and I have trained some amazing players.
"Aguero and Silva have a good relationship on the pitch. It is very difficult to stop them in the final third.
"I had them with me as a coach and now I have them against me.
"They will be difficult to control - they have a lot more experience now than when I was coaching them."
The odds are heavily stacked against Watford.
City are on the only Premier League side to boast a 100 per cent record this term while Watford have not scored in more than four hours and crashed out of the Capital One Cup at Preston in midweek.
Hornets midfielder Jose Manuel Jurado knows his side are on a hiding to nothing and said: "We are facing one of the most difficult teams to play against in Europe.
"Manuel Pellegrini is a great coach and Aguero and Silva are two great players who can change the game in one move."
