Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva recently spoke about the impact of Rodri’s injury on the team’s performance.
Although recognizing the importance of the Spanish player, Silva insisted that City have overcome similar situations in the past.
“I won two Premier Leagues without Rodri. Kevin De Bruyne, who is, in my opinion and probably for many, the best player in Manchester City’s history and one of the best in the Premier League, spent at least six months injured in two of the six titles we we won »declared the Portuguese.
According to him, the absence of a key player like Rodri should not be an excuse.
He pointed out that Mateo Kovacic, who plays the same position this season, has also shown a great impact in the team.
However, Bernardo made no secret of Rodri’s unique importance: “Of course Rodri is important, there is no player like him in the world.
His defensive and offensive abilities, the stability he brings to the team, his goals, and his presence in decisive moments are incredible. »
However, Bernardo believes that the main reason for the team’s recent underperformance is not just this absence. : “The real reason is not its absence.
We didn’t have any defenders available, and individually we had to do a little more to realize that we weren’t up to par. »
These words reflect a team mentality that refuses to hide behind obstacles, seeking to quickly return to the level of excellence that has made Manchester City one of the most dominant clubs in modern football.
