This season, maybe it was my fault, or Phil (Foden) was more involved, Riyad (Mahrez) maintained his level and the others players were good too.
They know the competition they have with each other but my admiration, my respect and my opinion of him has not changed one bit. He’s a special player for me, one of the most special I have had in my career as a manager for the relationship I have with him.
He's a guy who doesn't change his mood whether he plays or not. There are players who are just happy when they play, they smile at me and the backroom staff when they play.
When they don't play, they make you feel they are not happy and they behave like a little, little child.
Bernardo is completely the opposite, he’s mature, he knows exactly what has happened and he’s always the same person.
That is why he is an incredible person for me to work with him, always I will be grateful for the time we’ve had together.
All I want is to help him to come back to his best level because if there is one player on this team that gives help and support it is Bernardo Silva. He is the first on the list.”
