00:00According to Ricor de Portugal, Atletico Madrid are interested in Fabio Silva. What do you think?
00:04Let me give you some context: he was trained in Portugal, he was at Wolverhampton, he was
00:07lent a little bit here and there,
00:09Some loans have been successful, others less so, and this summer, remember,
00:12He signed for Borussia Dortmund for 25 million euros, something like that.
00:15But it's true that Fabio Silva, for a player who is 23 years old and who hasn't yet
00:18He's really broken through; we've been talking about him for several years now, a bit like a hidden gem, a
00:21talent,
00:21But it must be noted that he has played for 6 professional clubs and he still hasn't really succeeded.
00:25But despite that, it's a name we hear quite often linked to big clubs, okay?
00:28Clearly, he has a very good agent, good for him.
00:30Although in reality, let's not be too harsh, in Dortmund, it might be starting to catch on.
00:34At the start of the season, he was injured in the adductors, afterwards he got some playing time, but really family,
00:38The guy who came back, sometimes he'd play for a minute, that's it, great.
00:40By late autumn, he had only played 120 minutes in a series of Bundesliga matches here and there, and
00:45It's only in December 2025 that we'll start to see him play a little more with the
00:48Borussia Dortmund.
00:48He's been coming off the bench for a while, starting to deliver several assists, and me, in the few Borussia Dortmund matches I've played...
00:54I saw this season, well, he's not a bad player either.
00:56There are a lot of people who make fun of it, yeah, it's a scam, etc., blah blah, but actually, no.
00:59However, it's certain that he's not the best finisher; anyway, you can clearly see that he
01:02He hasn't scored many goals this season in the Bundesliga.
01:03However, he still has 6 assists in the Champions League, and so I think that Fabio
01:07Silva, well, he's a player who would be more likely to play as a second striker.
01:10and not as a number 9, and even less as a finisher or whatever.
01:12Now, there's another problem with him, which is that he's a rather frail player.
01:14And I don't see how that works in Diego Simeone's Atletico.
01:17Beyond that, he's not a player who holds onto the ball, he's a player who, well, makes the game flow.
01:20a little bit of the game, which can be played by combining, with one touch, etc.
01:23He's a pretty technical player, sure, but there are still some things about him that I like.
01:26not.
01:26So, when people tell me that he's potentially the player to replace Antoine Griezmann, I have to admit... no.
01:31Finally, in any case, not 30 million euros on a player who still has several areas of his strength.
01:35'shadow.
01:35After that, I'm not showing you that I can be wrong, it's not the player I have either
01:37I've seen him play the most in my life, but anyway, Antoine, since he doesn't play that much,
01:40Well, it's a bit complicated too.
01:41So, I don't know what you think, and I'll let you tell me about it in the comments.
01:44those who might have seen him play a little more.
