Man City 1-0 Southampton: ‘They deserve many more points’ – Bernardo Silva

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva spoke to Sky Sports after their 1-0 win against Southampton: “We have great respect for all the teams in the Premier League. These guys we are up against today, I watched the games they played during the season and I think they deserve a lot more points than they have.

“They press high and try to build with the ball. It’s very difficult to press them because if you go man to man in the middle, it’s not easy for our defenders.

“A tough game for us, but we are very happy with the three points.

“We are used to teams defending deep against us, which makes it more difficult and we have to be patient. We are used to that.

“We had opportunities to score three or four goals, but they deserve a lot of credit for what they did here today.”
