Mourinho rewards Bernardo Silva for his patience

Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed that Portuguese José Mourinho, the manager of Real Madrid, kept his compatriot Bernardo Silva on the bench for a long time during the season before giving him the opportunity to start in the El Clásico match.

According to the newspaper, the Portuguese star has lived up to his manager's expectations by patiently dealing with his situation in the team, without showing any objection or complaints about his limited appearances, waiting for his chance to prove his abilities.

The newspaper reported that the Portuguese star rejected offers from FC Barcelona and Atlético, preferring to move to Real Madrid and take on this experience, despite the risks associated with his decision and the uncertainty of securing a key role from the outset.

The Portuguese star has informed those close to him that this adventure is worth pursuing, joining the royal club last summer on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester City ended.

Silva has become an important player in the Portuguese coach's lineup during recent matches before the current international break, where he has stood out in the midfield of Real Madrid.
