Silva said in an interview with the newspaper:AbulaPortuguese: “It is not a criticism of Atletico Madrid, but (Joao) went to the wrong place that does not suit his specifications, and he is now in an environment that is more compatible with his playing style, and I see him as stronger.”

Bernardo continued: “Felix tried to adapt to them and follow the coach’s thought, but it will not be ideal for me. Now I am happy because I see him happy at Barcelona and in an environment that is more in harmony with the way he plays. He is much stronger than he was a few years ago.”

The City player pointed out that Barcelona’s golden generation under the leadership of Pep Guardiola was an inspiration to him in his childhood, saying: “When I was young, I saw that Barcelona consisted of young players like Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, led by Pep. That was an inspiration for me, and he was one of “My dream is for Guardiola to coach me.”

Regarding his favorite coaches other than Pep, Silva said: “I like coaches from the Spanish and German schools. For example, Mikel Arteta, who has a big role in Arsenal’s development, as well as Jurgen Klopp even though he is a rival coach to my team, and also Xabi Alonso, who is just starting out.” “His career and he is doing a great job at Leverkusen, or even Luis Enrique, who did a great job at Barcelona and has a difficult task to push PSG forward.”
