Bernardo Silva Defies Tradition…
Bernardo Silva, the midfield maestro from Manchester City, stirred the footballing pot by sharing his spicy views on the guard of honor tradition. Criticized in 2020 for not applauding Liverpool, Silva joked, “I wasn’t going to clap because that’s not how I celebrate defeat.” It’s like wearing a party hat at a traffic jam! He passionately added that his time at Benfica taught him not to grin like a Cheshire cat when losing, hence the snub.
Fast forward five years, Liverpool received claps left and right for their achievements, but Bernardo and his crew are eyeing the trophy lane again. After feeling the guilt of placing 13 points behind the Reds last year, Silva delivered a rallying cry worthy of a battle scene from a Shakespearean play: “We didn’t even give it a try.” With $500M of shiny new transferee toys, they’re fired up, even if Rodri is more MIA than an abacus in a math class. They’re more ready for the Premier League than a suitcase is for a holiday!
