After the match against Arsenal, Bernardo Silva left some strong statements: “The difference between the rivalry with Arsenal and Liverpool? Maybe it's that Liverpool have already won a Premier League and Arsenal haven't. That Liverpool has won a Champions League and Arsenal has not. And that Liverpool always faces us with the intention of winning the game,” revealed the Portuguese.
The criticism, especially of Bernardo, is based on the fact that Arsenal play totally defensive games when they face City. It's basically playing on the counterattack, scoring a goal and locking in. In the recent Premier League match, Mikel Arteta's team complicated Guardiola's team more than necessary, even though they were playing at the Ettihad Stadium.
Liverpool, for its part, is a more proactive team, when they face City they are power-to-power matches. For many it is one of the most attractive games in the Premier League. Generally, football in Europe is back and forth, both teams propose, however, the criticism goes to Arsenal because they are considered one of the greats in England and cannot play defense.
Apart from the result, there was also strong criticism of the refereeing, for an unfounded expulsion of Trossard. The red card came just when Arsenal were playing better and were winning 2 to 1. Manchester City tied the game on the hour mark, in added time, which was 7 minutes, fans classified the added time as excessive.
As expected, the Spaniard went against the refereeing, but he was proud of his players: "I am incredibly proud of the team. The spirit we showed today was remarkable. I can't say I'm happy with the result because I want a match where the referees allow the game to be the center of attention instead of the decisions that cloud it," the coach confessed after the match.
