Through That’s Football, Liverpool star Diogo Jota was full of praise for Man City midfielder Bernardo Silva.
This weekend, Liverpool will clash with Man City in a highly anticipated match. Pep Guardiola’s team is truly formidable, because of its well-defined, cohesive playing style and many stars who know how to shine at the right time.
In particular, Diogo Jota praised fellow midfielder Bernardo Silva of Man City. That is understandable, as Pep Guardiola once admitted Silva was ‘one of the best players he has ever seen’.
Diogo Jota spoke up: “For me, Bernardo is probably one of the smartest players I’ve ever known. The way he can hide the ball from opponents is very special.”
Indeed, Bernardo Silva has earned a reputation as a player who almost never loses the ball. The Portuguese star’s dribbling ability is truly amazing. His long pass success rate is also very impressive, up to 91.1%, second only to Rodri (91.8). When De Bruyne couldn’t play due to injury, Silva did a very good job of creating and leading his play.
