While he generally avoids making direct comparisons, Santos acknowledged stylistic similarities between Bernardo and Real Madrid legend Luka Modrić, particularly regarding their immense technical ability and work ethic for the team.
“Silva has immense quality and sees the game like very few players do. He’s one of the best players I’ve worked with in my career. Real Madrid has signed a phenomenon in every sense.
“He’s an extremely strong player technically and extraordinary tactically. He understands the game very well and can perfectly read every situation. He always knows what to do with the ball and how to position himself when he doesn’t have it.
“I used him as an attacking midfielder or a winger, and his performance has been excellent in every position.
