Fabio Silva: The Sensational Rising Star of Las Palmas Declares, “In Spain, You Get Booked for Everything!

Fabio Silva, the sensational forward of Las Palmas, has been making headlines lately. After scoring again in Valencia, the Portuguese striker acknowledges that he is currently in great form. In today’s press conference, he discussed his personal success and how the victory in Valencia boosted the team’s morale. Silva, who is the only player in the yellow squad under warning before the Girona match, has also been critical of refereeing standards in Spain.

A Boosting Victory: “We Deserved It!”

“We had been searching for our first victory for a long time. I truly believe we deserved this win. Achieving this victory has brought us immense joy, and we are very happy about it. We wanted to give this triumph to our fans, who have supported us through tough results. This victory will provide us with confidence for the upcoming matches,” Silva said, emphasizing the importance of team spirit and the fans’ unwavering support.

Loving LaLiga: “The Culture is Fantastic!”

Silva expressed his admiration for LaLiga, stating, “I have played for many teams, but the Spanish league has always been my favorite. The culture is great, and my Spanish isn’t too bad either,” he laughed. “In LaLiga, there are many players who enjoy holding the ball, combining, and playing a more associated style of football. We possess the quality to play that way, as we have players who enjoy the ball. We need to keep this up to ensure we do things right.”

Praise for His Friend Essugo: “A Future Star”

Fabio Silva also praised his teammate Essugo, saying, “I’m thrilled for him. What he’s doing doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve known him for a long time, and I am aware of his abilities. He is a player who contributes significantly to the team. At just 19 years old, he has much to learn. We’ve been here for nearly two months, and he is making substantial contributions both defensively and offensively. I talk to him a lot, and he knows he has a long way to go. I’m sure Essugo will become an exceptional player.”

Analyzing the Upcoming Rival: “Girona is a Strong Team”

Regarding the upcoming match against Girona, Silva said, “Last year, I followed Girona closely because I played with my friend Savinho in Holland. I really liked how the team played. They have quality players, and the coach has a way of managing that I appreciate. They maintain possession and play a very associative style. This year, they are in the Champions League. We know we need to deliver a great performance at home with our fans.”

Adapting to His Position: “I Will Play Anywhere”

When asked about his position on the field, Silva stated, “I don’t mind where the coach places me. It also depends on the opponent. In my career, I’ve played in all attacking positions, whether on the wing, upfront, or just behind the strikers. I always aim to play better, and then the coach makes the decisions as he sees fit.”

Reflecting on Coaching Styles: “No Comparison Needed”

Silva also discussed the differences between coaches Diego Martínez and Luis Carrión: “There’s no point in comparing coaches. Each one has their methods, strengths, and qualities. We are very happy with our new coach, who has brought a new energy and has experience. Luis Carrión also contributed greatly during his time here, and I learned a lot from him.”

Partnership with Januzaj: “An Unspoken Understanding”

On his partnership with Januzaj, Silva remarked, “Playing alongside Januzaj is effortless. He is one of the best players I’ve ever played with due to his excellent understanding of the game. I like to make runs behind the defense. With him, I don’t even need to talk, as I know where to find the space. He has the ability to deliver the ball to me like few others can. I really enjoy playing alongside him. We share a good understanding and dynamic on the pitch.”

On Yellow Cards: “It’s Not Intentional!”

Fabio Silva addressed the issue of yellow cards, saying, “I don’t receive yellow cards intentionally. I’ve come from more competitive leagues, where it was perhaps harder to get a foul called against me. Here, they whistle fouls, and you get booked for everything. Two of my yellows were for protesting, and I need to be more cautious about that. The other two were unjustified and happened at the start of the matches. I need to control my bookings better. I come from two leagues where not much is whistled, and you just keep playing.”

Conclusion: A Promising Future for Silva and Las Palmas

As Las Palmas continues to grow under Silva’s influence, the forward remains focused on enhancing his performance and contributing to the team’s success. With upcoming matches that could shape the season, Silva’s confidence and ability to adapt will be crucial in their pursuit of victories.
