No-one has played more games under Pep Guardiola than Bernardo Silva. Silva has been picked more than 400 times by Manchester City manager Guardiola, who signed the Portugal midfielder in 2017. They have won six Premier League titles together, while Silva has also won the Nations League title twice. Silva sat down with Kelly Somers to talk about what it is like to play under Guardiola, his standout matches, and his dream of winning the World Cup.
The future of Bernardo Silva in the Premier League has become uncertain, with reports from Calciomercato claiming that Juventus and AC Milan have both made initial contact with the Manchester City playmaker over a potential summer transfer. The Portuguese international's contract with City is set to expire at the end of the season, putting several top clubs on alert as he edges closer to free agency.
Man City was so successful in the last eight years not because one captain was really good but because we have a group of great leaders," said Silva. "Obviously as the first captain you have to make sure some things don't happen to create that environment but what we've seen is a group of great characters. "My job now is to create that energy back so people behave right, arrive early to training. "In terms of responsibility you need more than four [captains], we had 10 or 15 players like that who behaved as captains.
