Bernardo Silva Explodes After Manchester City's Latest Loss: "If You Make Stupid Decisions..."
The Manchester City midfielder lashed out at his team following their defeat to Manchester United. His self-criticism is unmissable.
Manchester City’s struggles continued with a heartbreaking defeat to their arch-rivals, Manchester United. After leading 1-0 into the 87th minute, City squandered their advantage and eventually lost, deepening their ongoing crisis.
While manager Pep Guardiola expressed his frustration and despair in the post-match press conference, it was Bernardo Silva who vented his anger with strong words on 'Sky Sports'. The Portuguese midfielder had no patience for the team’s errors, especially with how the game slipped away in the final moments.
"If in the 87th minute, in a derby, you're winning 1-0, you have a corner for your team and the ball ends up with your goalkeeper, leading to a penalty for them... My friend, if you make those kinds of stupid decisions when there are only three or four minutes left... you deserve to pay for it," Silva said.
His frustration was clear, as he continued, "It’s true that, if you watch the game, there’s only one team that could’ve won, in my opinion, but in the end, we lost. And it’s not just this one game, it’s been many games lost in the final minutes."
The loss marked another painful chapter for City, who have now lost eight of their last 11 matches and drawn two. For Silva and the team, it’s clear that the current run of poor results is wearing thin, and mistakes in crucial moments are taking a heavy toll on their season.
