Portugal 1966 World Cup veteran Simoes hails Man City ace Bernardo Silva

Portugal's 1966 World Cup veteran Antonio Simoes admits he's a fan of Manchester City pair Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva.

Simoes is happy seeing the pair going to Qatar.

He told O Jogo: "I only have reasons to think that they can play well. Above all, for one thing: because they know how to play.

"They now have the leadership of Rúben Dias and the talent of Bernardo Silva."

He continued: "Bernardo Silva is a kid with an extraordinary talent and I have a weakness for lefties. I can't resist. He's a player who can score a goal at any time or discover someone with an assist that no one in the assist was expecting.

"He is an indispensable player. I hope he is fit."
