Bernardo Silva revealed which of his teammates would take the crown in a brawl, leaving out Erling Haaland despite his formidable build. During a light-hearted Q&A with Pro:Direct Soccer and Twitch sensation Angry Ginge, a known Manchester United fan, Silva was quick to judge the qualities of his teammates.
He named Phil Foden as the most skillful, Kyle Walker as the lightning runner, while John Stones takes the prize for his careful dressing. But when asked the curveball question: “Who is tougher in a fight?” » Silva dropped quite a revelation, laughing as he said: “For me, it's also a mixture of strength and madness, so I'm going for it.”
With a quick movement of his board, he displayed the name of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. On the other hand, Angry Ginge wrote down Haaland's name, sharing: “He's massive.” Acknowledging the suggestion, Silva admitted: “Yes, but Ederson is crazy and strong too. I wouldn't want to fight with Ederson to be honest.”
The conversation didn't stop at difficult discussions. In a surprising clip, Silva also discovered that Jack Grealish takes extremely long showers. Regarded as having superior musicianship and being the best prankster by his Portuguese mate, Grealish was also teased for spending a lot of time preening.
Revealing his choice, Silva emphatically said: “Jack spends a lot of time – A LOT of time – taking care of himself,” reports the Mirror. Elsewhere, Silva also shed light on how Manchester City operate under Pep Guardiola, providing insights fans rarely glimpse.
Talking about the daily routine, he said: “If we train in the morning, I leave the training ground around 1:00 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. The midfielder added details about his schedule: “Most of the time we start training at 11am. We finish at 12:30 I guess. At 1:30pm I go out.”

Asked by Angry Ginge what happens after training, Silva clarified: “It depends. But most of the time we only have one training session a day.” About the rest periods, Silva revealed: “Pep is very generous with us, but with the current schedule it is not easy.
“So I would say once a week we have a day off. It's not much, but we take it.” City's routine may be brief, but it is effective; their trophy cabinet has grown considerably with six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a Champions League trophy since Guardiola took the helm.
Eight matches into the 2024/25 season, City are one point behind Premier League leaders Liverpool. The reigning champions kept the pressure on the Reds this weekend with a 2-1 win over Wolves, while Liverpool themselves triumphed by the same scoreline against Chelsea.
