Man City ace Bernardo: Rui Costa a hero; Dias very close to me

Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva admits he grew up modeling his game on Rui Costa.

Bernardo took 20 questions from ESPN.

On his favourite player, the midfielder said: "He played more at least in the same position as me, for my team and for my country."

On teammate Ruben Dias, Bernardo also stated: "He is very similar to me. He loves football, he loves talking about the tactical part of the game, also because he receives my perspective from a more offensive point of view and I am interested in the defensive side of the game.

"We complete each other in the conversations we have and I learn a lot with him."
