Silva said: "When I was a kid, one of the things I really enjoyed was playing football in the streets, and at school with my friends. Wherever I had the chance, I wanted to play football. Sometimes when there was no proper ball, we made our own to play. I hope that the kids in the future will be as creative in the way they train and play football. Because that's part of life and how we grow up."
"As you know, anything we want to do in life is very difficult, you have to work hard. The first thing to remember is to put in your best effort, nothing comes naturally. You have to be disciplined and focused on what you want to do, what you want to achieve.
If I don't achieve my dream of becoming a professional player or a successful athlete, I can still become a successful person because I have learned a lot and have enough skills to do good things outside of sports ," Silva concluded.
