Bruno Lage has promised Fabio Silva more minutes if he maintains the high standards he’s set in the past week.
Bruno Lage said: “Now you can see the difference. What Fabio did today in the first 45 minutes, these are the things I want from him. Remember Fabio played in the League Cup against Tottenham in December, there’s a big difference (between then and now). You conquer these kind of things in training, that’s why I believe a lot in training and the way we work. The players need to convince me in training to earn their chances. To be fair, Fabio has been working hard since the first day. Sometimes players ask me to sub or I need to put one more midfielder… but since the game against Aston Villa Fabio has been coming inside to help the team. If I see Fabio working every day in training and he plays like he did in the last 10 minutes against Man United, and what he did today, I’m very happy and for sure he will get more time. And with that time, he will get more goals for us.”
