Pep Guardiola defends Bernardo Silva amid racism row in England
The Portugal midfielder is receiving unwanted attention for a tweet about teammate Mendy
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has defended Bernardo Silva once again ahead of this weekend's Premier League game against Everton.
Silva has been at the centre of the storm in England this week after the FA announced that they were investigating a tweet in which he compared teammate Benjamin Mendy to the Conguitos logo.
Guardiola spoke in Silva's favour in midweek amid claims his tweet was racist and again defended the player on Friday.
"If they believe and what they believe about Bernardo, they are completely wrong," the former Barcelona coach said in a press conference.
"We judge intentions. I know the intentions of Bernardo. I know all of them. It is just a joke. That is what I see every single day."
