But losing Silva will hit him hard. “Yeah, absolutely it's part of when this type of players,” he said. “There are many in the last years who have gone. it's part of. I'm talking for myself.

“Part of myself is leaving too so. It would be difficult to imagine it without him. As I've said many times off and off the pitch, I think he makes an incredible statement during nine years and especially has been massively, massively, massively important.

“Hopefully we can deliver to him, he's going to help us, I know that. He's a special player in that terms. Hopefully we can deliver a good month, because he deserves it, he deserves the best.”
