Bernardo Silva admits even winning the FA Cup wouldn’t make this a successful season for Manchester City. City
reached the FA Cup semi-finals after a 2-1 comeback win at Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday. While the FA Cup
is the Citizens’ last hope of winning silverware this season, Bernardo Silva insists one trophy is not enough for the club’s standards. Asked after the game whether winning the FA Cup would define their season as a success, the Portuguese replied: “No. Our standards are much higher than that. ” Of course if we win it we are happy but it doesn’t make it a good year for us.”
City have had a difficult end to 2024, แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ suffering five successive defeats in all competitions and a 2-0 win at Leicester on the final day of the year was their first league victory in 14 games.
However, their form has picked up heading into the New Year. After adding reinforcements like Omar Marmouch, Nico Gonzalez and Abdulkadir Kusanov, all of whom took part in the Vitality game, when asked if the new signings helped the team come back stronger, Bernardo replied: “It’s a pity that we have a lot of injuries, which affects the team, but we don’t use it as an excuse. ”
“We accept that the bad period was ours. We don’t make excuses, we should have done better and from now on the only thing we can control is our own performance, and today was a good performance for the team.”
