After a spectacular performance by Bernardo Silva, the coach of Manchester CityPep Guardiola, tore many praises to the midfielder and put the Portuguese in a level of “perfect player”.
Playing away from home for the first leg of the round of 16 of Champions League, the English beat Sporting 5-0, with four goals in the first half. Two of those goals were scored by Bernardo Silva, who had an incredible performance against his former rival, as he played for the benfica at the beginning of the career.
His game was so impressive that Guardiola was excited by what he saw: “He’s a perfect player, defensively he’s very intuitive. He can run 12 or 15 kilometers consciously, not just running. I always tell him: ‘You have to score goals, win games’. He has a talent for it. He scored one of the best goals I’ve seen in my career and I hope it helps him gain confidence.”
“Bernardo Silva is unique. He can play in six easy positions. A lot of players play well, but he also understands the game, he knows what the team needs at every moment. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s an extraordinary person. father and mother can be proud. I hope he stays with us for many years to come.”

The accolades did not stop there. The athlete didn’t do well just this Tuesday’s game. His season as a whole is very good. He is playing so well that the team’s fans call him the best player on the team, and it seems the coach agrees.
“He’s the best. When we won the English Premier League with 98 points two or three years ago, he was also the best. After this season he fell a little bit because he didn’t play in the position he likes the most, but now he’s back.”
However, at the beginning of the season, Bernardo wanted to leave the club and the Spaniard did not forget that: “Not only Bernardo, there are two or three players who want to leave. If they bring an offer and ask to leave, we are open to discuss, but It’s up to them. If in the end he leaves, the only thing I can say is that the club that signs Bernardo will take one of the best players in the world.”
