Bernardo Silva of Manchester City has dismissed any concerns about complacency creeping into the team following a streak of 10 consecutive wins across competitions.
The Treble winners from last season are facing a crucial month ahead as they compete in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
After securing a 2-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League, City is now preparing to travel to FC Copenhagen for their Champions League last-16 first-leg match against the Danish club.
Despite their winning streak, Silva is adamant that the team remains focused and does not take their current form for granted.
He emphasized this in an interview with Gianluca Di Marzio, where he stated that while people may have become accustomed to the club’s winning streak, there is no complacency within Pep Guardiola’s squad.
“It’s true that before the success against Luton, we hadn’t won in four games, with three defeats and a draw,” Silva explained.
“By winning every match, we got people used to it. But this is not always possible in football.”
Silva acknowledged that while they experienced a period without wins before their recent success, the team quickly reacted and now needs to maintain that level of performance moving forward.
He also highlighted the team’s consistent quest for trophies and making history as the driving force behind their motivation.
As Manchester City prepares to face FC Copenhagen, manager Pep Guardiola has emphasized the need for the squad to be mentally prepared for the challenging match.
With Silva likely to start for City, the European champions will be looking to maintain their momentum in what is expected to be a competitive game.
The team’s relentless pursuit of success and their focus on raising the bar and creating a successful legacy demonstrates their commitment to achieving excellence.
This determination, as articulated by Silva, reflects the team’s strong ethos and their ambition to continuously push themselves to achieve their goals.
