Bernardo Silva frustrated at Sunderland, says: Today was a... | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva did not hide his disappointment with the draw against Sunderland (0-0). In the aftermath of the match against the black cats, the former Benfica trainee analyzed Manchester City's performance and acknowledged that the team did not have a positive approach in the encounter.

"There were two different halves. I would say that in the first half we didn't play very well, we didn't control the counterattacks as we should have. We attacked a bit too quickly, we didn't move them to then find the spaces," began the 31-year-old midfielder, in statements to Sky Sports.

"And then, in the second half, we had many opportunities, that's my perception, what I felt! Today was one of those days when we couldn't score. And that's okay, it's a point," acknowledged the footballer, who is not thinking about returning to Benfica for now.

"They [Sunderland] are a good team! It's no coincidence that they are unbeaten at home this season. Much credit to them! But we are fighting for the title, trying to stay as close to the top as possible, so we need to win these kinds of games," stated Bernardo Silva, analyzing the citizens' performance.
