Bernardo Silva will never win Ballon d'Or because of media - Guardiola
The Portuguese star plays a key role in Manchester City and has the ability to play in various positions.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has claimed that Bernardo Silva can never win the Ballon d'Or because he is ignored by the media.
Brazilian legend Ze Roberto recently called Silva the best player in the world at present, but Guardiola claimed that he did not know if this statement was true or not, but praised the Portuguese star and claimed that the media did not pay enough attention to his quality.
“Coming from Ze Roberto, I like it because he was one of my favourite players when playing in Germany,. He was still a top quality player at 40.
“I don't know if Bernardo is the best player in the world and I don't care. What I see is an incredibly nice guy. It is a joy to work with him. Offensively and defensively, he can do everything that you can do.
“[But] he is never going to win the Ballon d'Or because you have to be on social media, you have to not just win but score a lot of goals and Bernardo does not have that quality.
“If one day it will happen I would love it, I would be happy for him like any other player that we have here that one day would win the Ballon d'Or.
“I would be more than grateful to experience that award with him. For me, as a manager, he can do everything.”
