Bernardo Silva has expressed immense pride in being named Manchester City captain, declaring it one of the highest honors in his career. Pep Guardiola, who chose Silva as captain after identifying issues with previous leadership, emphasized the importance of shared responsibility among players. Silva intends to leverage his extensive experience gained over nine seasons to guide younger teammates. He acknowledged the essential roles of fellow leaders like Rodri, Rúben Dias, and Erling Haaland in achieving the team's goals and winning titles next season.
"It's probably one of the biggest honours of my career," he said. "I'm going to start my ninth season at the club. We went through a lot of fantastic moments and some disappointments as well."
"The leadership in a team, it's not about one guy. It's not about me, it's not about the last captain... It's about each one of us being our own leader and helping the guy next to us in the dressing room."
"I'm counting on Ruben, on Rodri, on Erling, on all the guys to help me... to help the team achieve a lot of things and hopefully win titles."
