The midfielder of Manchester City, Bernardo Silva, indicated that there could be significant changes to the HORIZONT for the club after describing a “very frustrating” campaign.
The City’s Champions League trip ended early on Wednesday and made the fastest exit from the competition since the 2012/13 season.
A 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu sealed her fate after a 3-2 loss in the first leg in the Etihad Stadium.
In the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s squad is in fourth place and left the League leader Liverpool by 17 points before their upcoming collision on Sunday.
Silva shared his thoughts on the difficulties of this season.
He said: “Of course, this season has been very frustrating so far. There are things that we can no longer recover: the Champions League that the Premier League wins. We have the two most important competitions, so we are very, very sad.
“I am sure that some changes that the club will probably do at the end of the season. “”
🚨 Bernardo Silva in the bad season of Man City: “It seems incomprehensible to me. I don’t have the right answer ”.
“There is a mixture of many things that happened in the club. Not only injuries, that’s not an excuse. The levels of calm and self -confidence are not the same, ”said Espn. pic.twitter.com/x8rdqupjjm

Since his arrival in City in 2017, Silva has secured impressive 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown. However, he admitted that this was his most difficult season in the club.
“No doubt,” he added. “A very difficult season. Throughout the season there were many games in which we were by no means in our best.
“We played against Madrid against a very strong team, very, very experienced and very successful in this competition. But we didn’t do nearly enough to win the game. Madrid was much better and good, we have to accept it and try to improve every day for the next season. “
The City season was hindered by injuries, with the most important players, including Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who had suffered an ACL injury in September. However, Silva refused to use injuries as an excuse for her fights.
“It seems to me to be incomprehensible too,” he said. “I don’t have the right answer. There is a mixture of many things that also happened in the club. Of course not only the injuries, that’s not an excuse. The measure of calm and self -confidence is not the same this season. The way the team plays is not the same and we have to get it back as soon as possible.
“Again, the number of simple balls that we have awarded. We gave them everything they always wanted, what many, many times a game with many losses that they can touch us. And if this is the case, if you do not do the basics correctly, don’t deserve to win such a game. “
Despite the difficulties this season, Silva remains confident in Guardiola and the potential of the squad to jump back.
“Yes, of course I do that,” he said when he was asked about Guardiola. “That doesn’t change.
“There is also total confidence in the players we have in the squad because they are the same. Of course a little older, but now with new energy. “
