A significant development has taken place at one of England’s strongest clubs, Manchester City. From now on, the team’s main captain will be the experienced Portuguese footballer Bernardo Silva. According to football experts, this decision may open a new chapter in the club’s history.
The team’s head coach, Josep Guardiola, spoke about this in detail at a press conference. According to him, Silva has shown himself in every aspect as a true leader, and it was precisely these qualities that led to him being entrusted with such a responsible role.
– I saw a lot in Bernardo. Last season was particularly difficult. At times there were only 13–14 main players left in the squad. Youngsters from the academy were also brought in. We had to go out on the pitch against strong opponents every three days. In such circumstances, Silva was always by our side. He worked tirelessly, showing every day everything he was capable of. His constant readiness to help undoubtedly proved that he is a true captain, – said Guardiola.
The head coach also emphasized the versatility of the Portuguese player. In addition to his usual position, Bernardo was forced to play as a full-back on both flanks, as well as a defensive midfielder. – He acted confidently wherever he was needed on the field. This once again shows that he is worthy of being the team’s leader, – the coach added.
The 31-year-old Bernardo Silva has been playing for Manchester City since 2017. During this period, he has become one of the club’s most reliable and fan-favorite players. His current contract runs until June 30, 2026. However, according to many insiders and experts, the cooperation is very likely to be extended for several more years.
The football community, meanwhile, supports Guardiola’s decision. Many believe that Bernardo Silva can lead the team to great goals not only with his performance on the pitch but also with his personal qualities.
