Bernardo Silva reveals Haaland’s secret to success after Fulham – City | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva believes that one of the secrets to Haaland's success lies in the striker's ability to not touch the ball for long periods, but when it does reach him, he is able to make a difference. In statements after the Fulham – City match, the former Benfica player praised his teammate.

“He [Haaland] is a player with completely different physical capabilities. It is very difficult to find a player who, mentally, doesn't mind participating little in the game, because most players like to touch the ball a lot,” Bernardo Silva began after the Fulham - City match.

The former Benfica player – who received praise from Pep Guardiola at the end of the match – highlighted a particular aspect of Haaland's game: “He doesn't need to touch the ball much, if he touches it once or twice and it's to score a goal, he is very happy at the end of the game and that is not easy to find.”

“When defenders give him half a meter, or even if he starts a meter behind the defenders, it's very difficult to stop him, especially in open play. He has been a crucial player for us, may he continue for many years and it's great that he reached that milestone,” concluded Bernardo Silva.
