Andre Silva Revealed His Feeling Became the Hero of Portugal

DBasia.news – The former AC Milan player who is currently supporting Sevilla, Andre Silva was the decisive hero of Portugal national team against Italy on Monday (10/9). His only goal at 48′ ensured Portugal to lead the Group 3 standing of the League 1 Nations League.

By this goal, Andre Silva wanted to prove that AC Milan took a wrong decision to kick him during the summer mercato. As we know, Milan loaned the 22-year-old player to Sevilla due to his poor performance last season.

But with Sevilla, Andre Silva’s performance is improving. He even scored the hattrick in his debut. Recently, he became the victory star of Portugal against Italy, without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“I have some friends in the Italian national team, but there are no friends on the pitch. I have to focus only on getting the victory for Portugal,” Andre Silva revealed.

In this opportunity, Andre Silva also revealed the strength of Italy. But his team did an amazing job when forcing Ciro Immobile and friends to prove their maximum performance.

“I did think that overall we were the better team on the night and deserved the win,” Andre Silva uttered.

Meanwhile, Portugal coach Fernando Santos explained the team speed as the key to win the match. “I thought it was a little unfair that we were still goalless at half-time,” Santos revealed.

“So during the break, I urged my men to keep up the pace. It’s clear we couldn’t dominate the whole game, as we were up against a very strong Italy side,” Santos continued.
