Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva commented on the reasons for his team's defeat in the match against Al-Hilal. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This match took place in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup. The winner was determined at the end of extra time. In his statement, Silva emphasized that they had high hopes for this tournament and wanted to reach the quarter-finals.
However, he acknowledged that football is such a game and that the opposing team played well today. He congratulated Al-Hilal, stating that they caused them many problems and deserved the victory. The midfielder mentioned that his team had possession of the ball, created many opportunities, and could have scored five or six goals.
However, they were not able to respond quickly and effectively enough when losing the ball. The opponents found many opportunities to launch quick counterattacks.
A couple of passes were enough to create dangerous situations in their goal. For this reason, he noted that they would always face problems.
Today, a similar situation repeated itself. It was also reminded that earlier Manchester City topped their group stage with 9 points.
