Manchester City midfielder, Bernardo Silva has come out to share the craziest thing Pep Guardiola has asked him to do at the club. He recently revealed that it happened during last season’s title race, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Pep asking him to play on the wing vs Saka at the Emirates stadium was crazy, because the England winger is one of the best in the EPL.
Silva added that it was definitely a tough battle for him, but he loved the challenge in the end.
His words, “The craziest thing he asked me to do was probably play on the wing at the Emirates against Saka. It wasn’t easy and it was a game of a lot of pressure because we were behind them and if we lost or drew this game we would be out of the fight for the Premier League.
Having to play that game against one of the best wingers in the league was the moment I will remember forever in my career. And I loved it, I loved it. In the end it was tough, but it was a great challenge, which I loved.”
WOW.
