It is not new, and it certainly won't be the last time Pep Guardiola expresses his admiration for Bernardo Silva. The difference after the 3-0 victory over Fulham is that the Manchester City manager didn't even let the journalist finish the question he was about to ask about the Portuguese player. 'In the pressure, it seems he asks Bernardo to do a lot of work, with so many other players…' the journalist began at the press conference before being interrupted. 'No. He is irreplaceable. When Bernardo cannot play there, we have to change the system. He is irreplaceable. First, he will press the goalkeeper, and then he runs to build with Rodri. And sometimes he goes to the right, at Anfield, to make crosses or passes to win the game. This is Bernardo,' he summarized. Another Portuguese player who also received praise was Matheus Nunes, whom the Catalan transformed into a right-back, and who was involved in the 2-0 goal. 'I have always told Matheus: you have an incredible pace, why don’t you push forward more often? Today [in the play for the 2-0], he accelerated, made an incredible diagonal pass, Haaland held it, and then the pass to Semenyo came, and O’Reilly made the difference,' he emphasized.
