Real Madrid midfielder Bernardo Silva has said that he cannot wait to learn under Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese player recently completed his first training session at Valdebebas following his high-profile free transfer from Manchester City.
Admitting that the presence of his compatriot in the dugout made the move to Spain an easy choice, Bernardo stated that the opportunity to work under his legendary compatriot drove the transfer.
Silva added that he is happy to play football under a manager who means a lot to Portuguese football.
His words, “We’ve been rivals a few times, and now we’re on the same side. I’m very happy because he’s a coach who means so much to Portuguese football.
Since I was young, we’ve always watched his teams, and he’s always put Portugal’s name at the highest level. I’m very happy to begin working with him and learning from him.
I’m tired. The first training session was tough, but I’m very happy to meet everyone and my teammates.
I already knew some of them quite well because I’ve played against them many times, but now I’m happy to be on the same side and to start this preseason in a good way.
Everyone is training with great intensity, and honestly this place already feels like home. I’m very happy to be here.
It’s very special, and I’m very happy to be here. There’s no need to talk about this club because its history speaks for itself.
After playing against Real Madrid so many times, you feel how important the club is.
You feel how special it is to play at the Bernabeu, which is such an imposing stadium. When Real Madrid came calling, it was impossible to say no. I didn’t think twice.”
