Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his official x handle revealed City manager admitted that when Bernardo is not playing, the team adopts a different system due to his unique qualities and influence.
Romano reported as follows:
Pep Guardiola: “Bernardo Silva is irreplaceable. When Bernardo is not playing there, we have to play another system. He’s irreplaceable”.
According to recent reports by Softfootball, Silver’s performance has reinforced his status as one of Guardiola’s most trusted and important players. Silva delivered an outstanding performance at Anfield as Manchester City secured a dramatic 2–1 victory over Liverpool. The midfielder not only scored in the crucial encounter but also earned Player of the Match honors for his tireless display and technical brilliance.
Silva’s intelligence, work rate, and versatility continue to make him indispensable in City’s title push, especially in high-stakes fixtures. His ability to control tempo while contributing defensively and offensively sets him apart.
Meanwhile, in another landmark moment in the Premier League, James Milner has drawn level with Gareth Barry by making his 653rd appearance in the competition. The veteran midfielder reached the milestone after coming on in the 22nd minute during Brighton & Hove Albion’s clash against Aston Villa, adding yet another chapter to his remarkable career.
