Manchester City star Bernardo Silva appeared in press statements, after losing against Manchester United 2-1 in the sixteenth round of the English Premier League.

The player said: “We deserved what happened to us today, at this level. When something like this happens in one or two matches, it is considered bad luck, but we cannot say it is luck or bad luck when what happens is repeated for 10 matches.”

He added: “When you are The 87th minute in a derby match and you are 1-0 ahead, then our corner kick ends with a penalty kick in their favor. If we make these stupid decisions three or four minutes before the end, you deserve to pay the price. Looking at the match, I think there was only one team that could. Winning the match (meaning City), but in the end we lost.”

He added: “What happened was not in one match, but rather in many matches recently. We have to We look at ourselves. You can say, oh, it's a bit of bad luck, no, it's the decisions you make today in the last minute. We played like an under-15 team. "

"No," he stressed. We want that to happen. It's a bit frustrating because if you look at the game until the 86th minute, there was only one team that could win the game, and then from a Manchester City corner kick, I left a centre-back, and Robben stayed, but we ended up with the ball at our goalkeeper. . There is no excuse for that.”

He continued: “When that happens in 10 games, we have to look at ourselves and see what we can do better. There has to be communication so we can play short or keep the ball in the corner or something like that. At least if the ball ends up with one of our midfielders, put it in the corner. Don't put yourself under pressure. It's not just about the pass from Matthäus to the goalkeeper,  it's about everything, how the ball ends up from Robben to Matthäus and Kyle, we have to improve. To be more experienced and smarter, at this level even if you are better than the opponent. You deserve to lose the match.”

He concluded: “It is completely normal that we are not very happy at the moment. Not just this match but last month. We have to improve individually and collectively because this is not the standard of Manchester City.”
