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."
