“He’s a Piece of Sh*t!”- UFC Superstar and Liverpool Fan Paddy Pimblett Challenges Manchester City Player for a Brawl

Canelo Alvarez threatened Lionel Messi after Argentina beat Mexico in the group stages. Now an English mixed martial artist Paddy Pimblett, who competes in the UFC, wants to fight a Portuguese soccer star, Bernardo Silva. Although the player would have fought another soccer star a year back, he now wants to fight with Bernardo Silva.

Paddy Pimblett might find himself amidst controversy the way Canelo Alvarez found himself. Alvarez, after the backlash from the fans, had to backtrack and apologize to Messi for his comments.

Paddy Pimblett wants to fight Bernardo Silva

Paddy Pimblett is a big Liverpool fan. The player revealed the soccer star he would like to fight against recently. He was quick to pick the Manchester City and Portuguese star Bernardo Silva.

Pimblett said, “It’s Bernardo Silva. I don’t know anyone who likes Bernardo Silva. He is an unbelievable footballer. He’s a proper baller, but he’s a horrible wrong’un. He’s a piece of sh*t.” 

Pimblett thinks Silva didn’t show professionalism back when Liverpool visited Manchester City after winning the Premier League. As a ritual, City players, except Silva, gave a guard of honor to the Liverpool players. Silva didn’t applaud the team when his teammates were doing so.

Although, the UFC star also revealed that if the question was posed to him a year before, he would have fought another Portuguese star who plays for  Manchester United in the Premier league. He called Bruno Fernandes overrated, and the Liverpool fan would have chosen him for the fight.

Despite Paddy’s call for a scrap, Bernardo Silva’s focus will be on the WC quarterfinals

Bernardo Silva will be playing in the quarter-finals tomorrow with Portugal. He won’t be distracted by Paddy’s comments as his focus will be on advancing to the semifinals of the WC. It is only the third occasion that Portugal has made it to the quarterfinals. On the previous two occasions, they lost in the semifinals and finished third (1960) and fourth (2006).

Bernardo Silva is a crucial player in the midfield with Bruno Fernandes, who creates chances for the team going forward. Silva is in great form this season for Manchester City. He has already been involved in seven goals for the club in the Premier League and has continued his brilliant form in the world Cup. Although he is still to score or assist, his presence on the field helps the team offensively and defensively.
